WHAT'S COOKING at OCI  ISSUE 17 

Greetings from the Oregon Culinary Institute!  Periodically we like to reach out to the community of people and organizations that make up the OCI community to keep you informed about the latest news and developments at our school. (To opt out, just follow the instructions at the bottom of this email and you will no longer receive these emails).  

 
2012 OCI Kitchen Ninja Competition
 
On Monday, September 10th, we held the 4th Annual Kitchen Ninja Competition.  Like years past, our panel of Chef Instructors selected four current students and four graduates to participate in our quirky, "Portlandia" version of a reality-show cooking contest.  Click on the images below to see the round-by-round videos, culminating in the crowning of the 2012 Kitchen Ninja!

Help OCI Support The Portland Kitchen via the
Willamette Week's Give! Guide 

The 2012 Willamette Week Give! Guide just launched and we are very excited to be supporting The Portland Kitchen in their efforts to open in 2013.  We are asking you to help us support this cause, and the good news is that it is both easy and rewarding!

  The Portland Kitchen WWeek Give Guide

 

During the school-year program, NE Portland high school students will each receive 140 hours of comprehensive culinary instruction when The Portland Kitchen opens. This is a free program - and 80% of youth served will be low-income. For more information and to participate in supporting this cause, please visit wweek.com/giveguide now through December 31, 2012.

Thanks for checking us out, and we hope to see you in the kitchens soon. Happy Thanksgiving!
