Notes
Suggested plan of action when organizing this event in the future:
1) E-mail out early the deadline for: volunteers to teach (along with their recipes), volunteers to assist teaching.
2) Sort through submitted recipes and select around 4-5 recipes to teach at the workshop. The recipes should be simple, interesting, and not too expensive. Ask the president for a budget. E-mail out the teachers for those recipes you've chosen.
3) Between the deadline and the day of the event, check the inventory at McCormick to make sure you are not buying ingredients that you do not need to buy. Also, make sure you have enough cookware for the recipes that will be taught.
In addition to the ingredients, you will also need: aluminum foil (to cover the tables at the event), drinks, utensils, plates, napkins.
4) Go grocery shopping for the ingredients on the morning of the event for fresh produce. You can buy non-perishables before, but the produce should be fresh enough for use on the night of the event. Note that you will probably need help carrying all this stuff back.
5) On the day before the event, remind teachers and assistants to arrive at least an hour early to begin any preparation (i.e. if anything needs to be chopped, they should arrive at least an hour early to do the chopping beforehand).
6) Arrive early to the Cooking Workshop and begin setup (You may think that you arrived early, but despite your early arrival, you will most likely be late starting). You will need to move tables around, and then cover the tables with aluminum foil to keep them from getting dirtied.
