Culinary students sizzle at overseas school
STEFANIE LASUIK, CONTRIBUTOR
After four months of intensive culinary schooling overseas, RRC students Krunal Patel and Coleen Antonio have landed back in Winnipeg with a Worldwide Alliance trophy in hand.
As the sole representatives of Canada at Institut Paul Bocuse in France, Patel and Antonio took third place in a competition held on the final day of the international program.
The recognition was a sensational end to an experience, they said, that opened their eyes to culinary possibilities and sharpened their skills behind the stove.
“ The experience was amazing and it helped me grow a lot to where I am and where I want to be,” said 20-year-old Antonio.
Alongside students from 13 other nations, the two were put through new courses each week such as gastronomy, perfecting cooking and rotisserie.
Patel, 24, said the program has caused him to see food in a whole new way.
