In celebration of this year's One District, One Book community read of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Culinary Arts students are hosting a contest. They are trying to find the best chocolate recipe in Clarke County.
Do you create that chocolate dish everyone craves? Does your family request your special chocolate cake or torte every year for Christmas? Do all of your friends ask you for your recipes? The students of Culinary Arts are asking you to make your dish and write down your recipe.
Bring your dish and your recipe to the Culinary Arts Center and The Clarke County Career and Technology Center on October 18th by 10:00 a.m. The competition is open to all ages. Anyone living in Clarke County is invited to participate.
