"Welcome back, class," Colette said. "It is a bit late for a midterm, but I will give one anyhow, and hope you will indulge me." They had better - this was for a grade.
"Ideally, as a chef, you will have full access to the best of everything! But sometimes you cannot. Some people love animals and do not eat them. Some people cannot physically tolerate wheat, or nuts, or dairy. Some people diet and will say, 'oh no, no fat, none for me!' even in a French restaurasnt." She sounded a little contemptuous of these people. "And then there are some people with religious limitations on what they can and cannot eat."
She spent some time explaining vegetarian, gluten-free, Kosher and low-fat cooking, then reached for a sheet of paper on her desk. "This week, I would like for you to get into teams and plan a meal -- a main dish, side dish, and dessert or appetizer -- that will follow the dietary restrictions of the group you are assigned to. You do not need to cook anything, though you can if you would like, bien sur."
"Emma, Sam, and Kyle, you are cooking for vegetarians. Sookie, George and Jean, you are the gluten-free group. Joan, Liir, Helen, you must plan a Kosher meal -- dairy or meat. Chuck, Kate and Priestly, that leaves you to cook low-fat. Give me your meal plans before the end of class."
"Begin. You have cookbooks that you can use for ideas, and I am here if you need help."
