About Me
My Story
My name is Avery Rethage and I am 19 years old. I attend Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Punxsutawney, where I am enrolled in the Culinary Arts program. I have been cooking since I was a child, where I started making chili alongside of my parents. During Covid-19, I became determined to cook and bake something new everyday for my family so I can learn as much as I can. This experience opened my eyes and made me realize that I wanted to pursue Culinary Arts as my career and learn and experience something different each day.
Certificates
Here are some of my certificates and awards I've received!
Culinary Photos
These are some of my culinary and baking photos I have taken over the school year!
Over my culinary school year, I have taken two baking classes: Introduction to Baking and Intermediate Baking. I learned so many new things and I absolutely loved it all. Baking was so much fun. My favorite dish we made was the Creme Brulee!
Vanilla Bean Crème Brulèe
Now these some of my pictures from culinary class! We had several different classes including, Beef & Veal, Pork Lamb & Game, Nutritional Cuisine & Poultry, and many more.
