Huge congrats to our very own PCC Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management student, Ximón Wood, on a well-deserved win at the Friends in Deed “Cooking for a Cause” competition at Agnes Restaurant!

Ximón’s winning menu: Pan-fried Chicken Thighs with Apple Pan Sauce and Hearth Roasted Potatoes with Aquafaba

A message from Ximón:
I am a current PCC CAHM student in my last semester of the program. I recently began my Restaurant Operations Internship with Panda Express which is the final step to achieving my A.S. in Hospitality Management. Through the CAHM program I wanted to develop my skills in management, culinary, baking, and beverage appreciation, and my experience at PCC went above and beyond that. I started taking online classes at PCC during the pandemic and after eventually taking Dr. Mark Keene’s beverage appreciation class and Chef Colleen Nano’s Foundations of Baking class, I knew that I wanted to make a career change and pursue a new passion for working in the kitchen. I learned about the Cooking for a Cause event through PCC and I’m so glad I took a chance on it! I am incredibly grateful that my first experience ever in a cooking competition was a winner and I owe a great deal of that success to PCC’s awesome CAHM program.

Thanks for visiting us, CIHS Raiders! 🏴‍☠️ Through a partnership with Oxnard High School, we had future culinary and baking students from Channel Islands High School visit PCC for the day to tour our Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management kitchens and classrooms. They met with Professor Chef Colleen Nanno and Professor Dr. Mark Keene to learn about the many opportunities in the food and beverage industry, as well as the degrees and certificates available in our programs. They also received some Lancer swag in a backpack full baked treats, a branded wine glass, a wine bottle tote and a PCC lanyard. They rounded out the day visiting the Freeman Career Center, the Pathway Center and the Transfer Center hosted their delicious lunch! 🥙 …………………………….. #education #culinary #hospitality #food #beverage #pcc #pasadenacitycollege #losangeles #pasadena #losangeles #alhambra #monrovia #sangabriel #dtla @cihs_raiders
