 Chef DeVoria Simmons, who has been a member of BCA for six years, knows the importance of real-life experience and mentoring for students in the culinary arts. She realizes also how important it is for multi-cultural students to have great role models in the field. As a role model, Simmons has no equal. As a chef instructor at Star Career Academy in New York and a member of the Black Chefs Association (BCA), Simmons is taking more than 20 students to the upcoming BCA's 19th Annual Cultural Awareness Salute Gala, scheduled for April 21 at Guastavino's located at 409 East 59th Street in New York City. Students and faculty will prepare eight dishes, both hors d'oeuvres and desserts, including scallop ceviche, curried risotto cakes with chicken and kale, passion fruit cheesecake and a hazelnut dome. The BCA is a nationwide non-profit, educational and networking organization of hospitality and food service professionals with a mission to create exposure and provide educational and professional opportunities for culinary and hospitality professionals of color.
