Student chef winners serve up Chicago classmates

Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — Victory is especially sweet for some student chefs in Chicago.

Winners of a 2010 cooking competition get to serve up their Caribbean-inspired winning meal to more than 20,000 fellow students in the nation's third-largest school district on Monday.

Culinary students in Chicago Public Schools competed in the fourth annual Cooking up Change contest in November. The students were paired with professional chefs.

They were tasked with making nutritious meals that would be appealing to their peers and able to be replicated in large quantities. Last year's winners traveled to Washington to tour the White House kitchen and received culinary scholarships.

Monday's menu includes vegetable "Soup of Sunshine" and Caribbean citrus crunch.
