"I Can't Eat That!" Cook-Off Challenge


For this "I Can't Eat That!" cook-off, groups were challenged to prepare an appetizer or dessert that had a dietary restriction.  Each group was randomly assigned to one of the following diets that are restricted in some capacity:
  • Gluten Free
  • Sugar Free
  • Lactose Free
  • Vegan
  • Peanut and tree-nut free
  • Egg-free
Students had to research and prepare a presentation that covered the following information:
  • General description and rationale as to why this diet would be used
  • % of US population affected by this diet
  • Foods to avoid
  • Harmful effects to the customer if foods to avoid are consumed
  • Menu that meets dietary restrictions, including an appetizer, main entree, and dessert.
Students planned their lab based on your appetizer or dessert used in their chosen menu, keeping in mind contaminants in their kitchen that could affect their dish (i.e. flour does not come in contact with any gluten free dish, etc)
Winner!
Gluten Free: Pear and Bacon Marscopone Pizza (Appetizer)
