As the days are growing much longer and the sun shines brighter, it’s time to turn up the heat! Not only outside, but in the kitchen, too. This summer, be excited to try not only the season’s freshest flavors, but also the incredible achievements of our school’s ProStart Culinary Team!
Led by passionate students such as junior Sophie Hamblin, the ProStart team has been cooking up more than just delicious dishes.
After winning the state competition and placing in the top three at regional’s, this talented crew is headed to the national ProStart Invitational in Baltimore, Maryland on May 2nd, and will be competing until the 4th—an exciting opportunity that puts their skills on the national stage.
To share a taste of the team’s creativity and celebrate their hard work, Titan Legacy asked Hamblin to curate a few favorite summer-inspired recipes she has either learned, or loves to make! Below are some of Hamblin’s most memorable meals! Whether you’re looking to impress at a backyard BBQ or whip up a refreshingly light meal for a sunny afternoon, these dishes are sure to inspire.
Each recipe tells a story. From the moment the team first experimented with a flavor combination to the final product plated with care, these dishes embody the teamwork, passion, and innovation that have defined the ProStart experience. They’re dishes that reflect the seasons and the moments spent around the table with loved ones, elevated by skill and care.
These recipes aren’t just about food; they’re about bringing people together. They’re an invitation to slow down, enjoy the beauty of the season, and appreciate the small details that make a meal truly special. Whether it’s the texture of perfectly ripe tomatoes in a summer salad or the satisfying sizzle of a grill heated to perfection, these recipes capture the essence of what it means to cook with love and purpose.
As we cheer on our team in Baltimore, let’s also celebrate the everyday moments of summer with food that brings people together. The same passion and dedication that have driven the team to national recognition can inspire us all to get into the kitchen and create something unforgettable.
