This week was all about celebrating creativity and art in both our food and in our communities. In the classroom we read the book Maybe Something Beautiful: How Art Transformed a Neighborhood. In the kitchen, we made salad people, working with different colors, textures, and tastes. Some chefs chose to go the abstract route; others made salad cats. Some of the most popular materials were the kalamata olives and the chick pea pasta. Everyone’s work of art was singular and delicious. You can try this at home with whatever you have on hand, drizzled with a little olive oil or your favorite dressing!
