Getting Our Just Desserts is set for Saturday, Nov. 20, from 3 to 6 p.m. at The Art Institute of Phoenix, 2233 W. Dunlap Ave., Phoenix. Tickets are $35. And there are several great reasons to put his on your schedule, if you’re serious about food – and fun.
You'll find an incredible array of sweets and savories - and tastes are included in the ticket price. There will also be a holiday house sale - of gingerbread houses designed and presented by some of Arizona's top high school culinary students.
Not only will you have a chance to meet around two dozen of the top women chefs in Arizona (and sample those sweet and savory nibbles), but you’ll also be supporting an outstanding scholarship program. Arizona’s Careers in Culinary Arts Program, or C-CAP, annually gives away more than half a million dollars in scholarships to deserving high school culinary student in Arizona. Your ticket purchase will go toward the 2011 scholarships.
Students win scholarships through applications and interviews - and by competing in escalating cooking competitions judged by professional chefs. Last year, more than 30 high school students won scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $80,000 (and a slot at the Culinary Institute of American and/or Johnson & Wales hospitality program).
