The evening will start with appetizers made by Illinois State FCS students. Dinner will then be prepared by guests! Guests will receive instruction and guidance from Executive Chef Matthew Horton and the FCS students for a scrumptious meal. It will start with the preparation of rack of lamb with a fig, apricot, and port chutney followed by toasted orzo pasta and caramelized Brussels sprouts with pistachios.
