| From the desk of Arlene Ward: | |
I am convinced that our students live in a time warp. To you, this is February, to us, it's April. And though our calendars bear the same dates, our days are made up of tomorrows, paving the way so that when April really comes, AIC will be ready for you. Of course, by that time we'll be well into summer, and so it goes. The constant challenge in the midst of this temporal distortion is to keep our perspective, to remember whom we're addressing, where we can improve and how we can best serve you. As director of the cooking school, my focus is always on quality food, be it fancy or casual. The trends going forward into this New Year will stress fresh, local, and support for those who take pride in their products. As in the years that have passed, that has always been my goal, and important enough to continue to introduce you to this growing direction of food consumption. As a home cook, I know the importance of feeding a growing family, the cost and the choice that is available during our seasonal changes. The challenge for me is to practice what I preach when I am working ahead of the seasons. By choosing to support our local products when they are available, you are moving into the right direction. It's not easy being green. After all, we are not called "The Garden State" for nothing. The programs and chefs I have selected for the up coming months have strong emphasis in this direction. I welcome Chef Joe Cerniglia of Campania Restaurant in Fairlawn to our teaching staff this semester. Andre de Waal returns with the promise of a most exciting program with Daniel Frey, his sous chef in tow. Congratulations to Chef Josh Bernstein on the opening of his new restaurant 9 North on Berdan Ave in Wayne and to Chef Anthony Lo Pinto on the opening of Crave in Fairfield. Both are scheduled for February openings. And then there is Sara Moulton; just her name speaks for itself. She's back here at AIC and will be airing on Public Television in April. We are all pleased to see her return to both places. Thank you one and all for your overwhelming support and kindness in the past year. We are back on track now and hoping that we can stay there for a long time to come. Deliciously Yours, Arlene |
