DIBOLL, TX (KTRE) -
Saturday morning the Diboll Civic Center
was filled with the sweet aroma of culinary creations by East Texas students.
Students from Livingston, Porter,
Hunstville, Central, Wells, and Diboll participated in the first Axed Culinary
Competition, hoping to earn top honors for their skills in the kitchen.
As long as I think its going to be
good its like she said complete relief, I did it I got it done," said
Sabrina Welsh, 12th grade student, Central ISD.
Like something straight from reality
TV the students were told the mystery ingredients, chicken breast, cheese
puffs, avocados and evaporated milk. After that, they were given 30 minutes to
come up with a game plan.
"We go through what we have and
grab anything we think we might need," said Ali, Artechi, 12th
grade student, Central ISD.
When the clocks start the students make a run
for the pantry to get extra ingredients to help their dish stand out.
"And then they have an hour to
execute that plan before they take their meal to the judges," said
Jennifer Garcia, Family Consumer Science Teacher.
Central Seniors, Ali Artechi and Sabrina Welsh
say the competition can be stressful so team work is the key to their success.
"I love it, I find it relaxing
and her she's just kind of here she's my back-up she's my best friend so it
works," said Welsh.
But teachers say this competition is
about more than winning a prize.
"When they leave our classroom,
that they actually have something they can use, you're going to eat the rest of
your life," said Garcia.
And make each a day a little more tasty than
the last.
