James Buck Burlington School District employee Jennifer Trapani holding up the computer so students cooking remotely can see chef Cheryl Niedzwiecki making this month's Jr. Iron Chef VT recipe On the afternoon of February 15 at St. Mark Catholic Church in Burlington's New North End, three Burlington School District employees were juggling laptops, video cameras — and root vegetables. The church has provided a temporary home to the Burlington Technical Center's culinary arts program and the district's afterschool cooking activities while the high school addresses cancer-causing chemicals found on its campus. But wherever they take place, the district's cooking extracurriculars would normally involve months of recipe development and practice runs by teams preparing for the annual Jr. Iron Chef VT statewide culinary competition, now in its 14th year.
