Culinary students Dealie Williams of Cheraw and Ruby Brown of Bennettsville began their first week of hands-on learning under the guidance of Instructor Sha’Kira Gattison. Putting their skills to the test, the students jumped into the kitchen, preparing a soup and salad lunch for employees. This experience will be the first of many for them to practice essential techniques in a real-world setting.
Under Chef Gattison’s instruction, Dealie and Ruby focused on precision, and teamwork while preparing the lunch. From chopping vegetables for the salad to seasoning the soup, the hands-on experience reinforced the importance of time management and organization, skills they will continue to develop throughout their training.
The lunch was a success, and the experience helped to build confidence for these two new students. There will be many more lessons head, as Dealie and Ruby take their first steps towards careers in the culinary field under Chef Gattison’s mentorship.
