Getting Creative with McCain

ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Culinary Arts instructors
St. Andrews campus

ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Culinary Arts instructors at the St. Andrews campus led a team of 14 students on a culinary research journey. Together they spent six weeks creating and testing ideas using an assortment of McCain Canadian retail products to create 22 new recipes.

ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ hosted a culinary tasting event to reveal the student’s research and recipes to designated guests, McCain partners, faculty and ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ representatives. The students each presented their dishes with many explaining what inspired them to create their dishes and how they were prepared. Students provided all guests with a recipe booklet allowing them to create the same taste experience at home in their own kitchen.

This collaboration allowed McCain to introduce a range of top Canadian retail products to ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ culinary students, encouraging them to put their classroom learnings into action and push themselves to think outside of the box, by using the products and turning them into delicious, visually-pleasing and unique dishes that can easily be made at home in a short amount of time.

The partnership between ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ and McCain Foods has presented the students with an opportunity to apply their innovative problem-solving and critical thinking skills, along with their ability to be fun, engaging and creative.
