Stagg HS official site for French National Cooking Festival
Students prepare classic French dishes as part of la Fête de la Gastronomie
Eighteen Stagg High School French students recently participated in the French National Cooking Festival, called la Fête de la Gastronomie. Stagg High School was an official site of the festival, listed on the French Ministry of Economy’s website: http://www.economie.gouv.fr/fete-gastronomie/fete-gastronomie-a-stagg
As an official site of the festival, students took on the challenge of making several classic French dishes, including croque-monsieurs, gratin dauphinois, gougères, and tartelettes provençales, and madeleines. One group even attempted and succeeded in preparing vegan versions of all of these delicious butter and egg-heavy classic recipes.
The goal of the festival is to promote the practice of cooking and to take time to consider and appreciate the ingredients that go into meals.
A couple of students tweeted photos of their culinary adventures with the hashtags #staggparle (which means “Stagg speaks” in French) and #fetedelagastronomie.
