The teams with the top 10 scores move onto the final round of the competition which will be held in the spring at NASA in Houston. If chosen, their recipe could be sent to the International Space Station for astronauts to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chef Tracy Burgio is the Culinary Arts Instructor at the GV BOCES Batavia Campus. She shared how this team of students collaborated and were persistent in creating their recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was a process of trial, error, reformulating and much tasting! Isaiah, Alexa, and Sara were determined to make this recipe the absolute best it could be. They did an amazing job preparing, cooking and presenting their recipe. I\u2019m so very proud of all their efforts,\u201d Burgio said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panel of judges asked many questions of the team, which the students answered confidently. Isaiah shared how the team arrived at their recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were given the food category and guidelines from NASA HUNCH. We brainstormed and came up with the idea of Sweet Potato Shepherd\u2019s Pie,\u201d Isaiah said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe process took weeks to perfect. \u201cI can\u2019t even count how many times we made this recipe and changed ingredients. Even the day before this judging, we added two other ingredients to boost the flavor,\u201d Isaiah added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about why some of the ingredients were used, Culinary Challenge team member Sara explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe theme this year is comfort foods and we interpreted this recipe to have subtle flavors. But we did add garlic!\u201d Sara said. She also noted that only certain ingredients could be used in the recipe due to the recipe\u2019s need to be processed and packaged for space travel and for astronaut consumption onboard the International Space Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
