Culinary Arts Celebration Dinners
Culinary School of the Rockies purposefully chooses not to operate a student-run restaurant. Rather, we believe that the intense, hands-on learning taking place every day in the teaching kitchen is better. We do recognize the value of serving the public. Here's how we do it differently.
Harvest Dinner The Harvest Dinner is a prix-fixe, five-course, high-end dinner for the community featuring local and seasonal ingredients. You participate in a multi-dimensional event management process, developing the theme, menu, plate presentation, wine selection, and table setting. You work within a budget creating a production list and prep, cook, bake, serve, clean, and manage timing. This comprehensive exercise teaches you the logical steps necessary to create great menus and how to provide an amazing dining experience for guests. The Harvest Dinner showcases your creativity, talents, and skills.
