It was another food truck day lunch at Northwest Culinary Academy where their students created and cooked a selection of dishes for their ‘food truck’ which they created the name, concept and menu (4 dishes each team) and there were 6 food trucks; with a total of 24 dishes to choose from. This was their mid-term assignment for their culinary program.

I was able to try four dishes from the six teams and everything was very tasty.

The dishes I tried were:

Slammin Cakes – The DaDeO food truck

Chicken Kiev Bites – Smachno food truck

Quesabirria and Horchata – Mexican food truck

Izzi-kaya Signature burger – Izzi-Kaya food truck

The intensive culinary term is a 15 week full-time professional program focusing on techniques, ingredients, global cuisines, creativity, modern thinking, and mindful values.

It was wonderful to attend this delicious lunch and watch the students cooking and plating the various dishes.

Thank you to Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver for the invitation.
