May 4: Dine on student-prepared goodies to support scholarships

Enjoy student-prepared hors d'oeuvres and desserts while helping raise funds for scholarships at a Garde Manger reception from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday, May 4, in Café Willow at the College of Lake County Grayslake Campus, 19351 W. Washington St.

Students in CLC's hospitality and culinary management program will serve their final projects from a Garde Manger class.

The French term refers to foods prepared in the cold kitchen, such as smoked meats, sausages, pâtés (finely or coarsely ground blends of meats and seasonings) and terrines (ground blends of meats, vegetables or seafoods and seasonings packed in a loaf-shaped mold).

Additionally, students in CLC's advanced baking and pastry classes will serve breads and desserts such as chocolate financier with French macaroons. The delectables are a showpiece of techniques and products students have learned throughout the semester.

Beer, wine, signature cocktails and soft drinks will be available for purchase with appropriate ID.

"Stop by and try some great food prepared by our hospitality and culinary management students, enjoy some great company and let the good times roll," Instructor Chef William Vena said.

Admission is $20 for adults and $5 for children 12 and younger. All proceeds benefit CLC's hospitality and culinary management student scholarships. Tickets are available at the Grayslake Campus, in the Business and Social Sciences division office, Room T302, or in Prairie, the student-managed restaurant in the Lower Level A Wing (during lunchtime hours only). Or call the Business and Social Sciences division office, at (847) 543-2047. Or contact Prairie at (847) 543-2527 or prairie@clcillinois.edu.
