Black History Month 2022
This year we celebrated Black History Month by honoring Chef Chloe Gould. Described as a “food translator” for her amazing ability to introduce culturally diverse flavors into the most tried and true American dishes, Chef Chloe, a CPS graduate, began her love for cooking at a very young age as her Grandma’s prep cook. After culinary school, she traveled abroad and returned to Chicago to train students in the Culinary Arts at CPS as a Chef Instructor. She’s now the owner of DixiePura Catering.
On this occasion, Chef Chloe has created a signature dish for our CPS students, Southern Curry Jambalaya. Inspired by one of New Orleans’ greatest chefs, Mrs. Leah Chase, Jambalaya is an iconic New Orleans dish. This version includes tender chicken, seasoned with peppers, onions, and garlic, simmered with curry Cajun-spiced rice.
