Culinary Week includes visit by master chef
March 07, 2008
Master chef Ken Arnone will visit PLU for Culinary Week March 30 to April 4.
Hosted by Dining and Culinary Services, the week includes interactive cooking sessions taught by Arnone and PLU baker Erica Fickeisen, as well as a free lunch featuring authentic Italian cuisine.
Arnone is one of only 61 certified master chefs in the United States. His background includes stints at several prestigious hotels and restaurants across the nation, teaching at the Culinary Institute of America and numerous awards.
A former classmate of Dining Services Director Erin McGinnis’ from the culinary institute, Arnone was on campus two years ago to train the dining staff on new Asian recipes he developed for PLU. When he returns at the end of this month, he’ll spend three days instructing the staff on Italian cuisine.
The interactive sessions taught by Arnone and Fickeisen are free for students, faculty and staff, but reservations are required. Exact times, dates and locations are still being determined. For updated information, visit the Dining and Culinary Services Web site.
