We're Back!

School has begun, the gardens are being harvested and weeded, the kitchen in buzzing with the preparation of incredible meals and new adventures are already in the works.  This weekend will see the return of the incredible culinary festival Savour Stratford.  The Screaming Gang of students will be involved in many aspects including the opening ceremonies, tasting tent, BBQ and helping Food Network Host Chuck Hughes.
 At the end of October we make the trek to Cuba to explore the culture and cuisine.  From farm, to schools, to markets and homes we'll make the best of our seven days in the land of incredible people and geography.  The Screaming Gang has worked hard over the past few months to make this trip a reality and have become a real family in the process.  
We have many more plans for the coming year to hopefully meet if not top last year.  It'll be tough though as last year saw us visit Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, NYC and James Beard House, Toronto and having David Suzuki and the Governor General David Johnston come to our school as our guests.  Of course there was the small group that got to go to Rideau Hall in Ottawa and cook for and meet Prince William and Kate Cooking for the Royals  - a real experience of a lifetime.
