The Road To Certification of Certified Executive Chef

Chef Ernest Dickson Mentors Klondyke Preparatory School

All hands on board.....total involement.  I was invited to join in Parents Teachers night at Klondike Elementary School, and it was all about the children. 

I prepared nutritional desserts.  Fun and nutritional was my aim.  I prepared miniature parfaits, made of fresh fruit granola and yogurt.  As a supporter of First Lady Michelle Obama ' s program, "Chef's Move To School".

At the end of the day, fun was had by all, and we participated school nutrition. I had a ball with young culinarias were fantastic.
