Culinary Club visits Sullivan University The Culinary Club, along with Chef Mark DeBonis and Chef Justin Lewis, visited Sullivan University on Apr. 10. The group was invited to visit by Sullivan Baking and Pastry Arts Chef Barbara Turner. Trinity alumnus Scott Conti ’04, who works in admissions at Sullivan, spent time in the kitchen with club members. He was joined by several of the head chef instructors, as well as Keith Lerme, the dean of the Center for Hospitality Studies. After putting on their paper chef’s hats and cloth aprons (which they got to take home), students made “from scratch” personal pan pizzas with all the toppings. Each student had a workstation to prepare the dough. When it was ready, there were containers with chopped meats, vegetables and cheeses, as well as red and white sauces to use as they created their pizzas. Each student made approximately four pizzas. Some got creative and made calzones and some made stuffed-crust pizzas. While the pizzas baked, the pastry chef demonstrated cake-icing decoration techniques. The students learned how to make fancy cupcakes with bakery-style green and white icing. Students could top off their iced cupcakes with a candy shamrock-shaped decoration for Trinity pride. “The people at Sullivan went all out to make our visit fun and appealing to our budding chefs in the Culinary Club,” club moderator Dr. Debbie Heaverin said. “The best part of the visit, of course, was eating all the good food. It was nice to talk to Scott (Conti). It was good for our guys to hear how he loved Trinity and how the people here had a positive influence on him.” Holloway talks about interior design Mr. Christopher Holloway was this year’s last Speakers Bureau guest.
