Since I began teaching Culinary Arts at CLA 4 years ago, I have had an Iron Chef competition. This year the secret ingredient was pineapple and each team had to create 4 courses and a drink that contained pineapple. They get an hour to cook and then present their creations to a panel of judges and the chairman ( me, of course!). We had a great time and the dishes each group created were amazingly good!
