Taste Test

Chef Roland Schaeffer tastes the Island Dream Dessert entry of Army Sgt. Aqueelah James while judging the practical and contemporary hot food cooking/patisserie category at the 41st Annual Military Culinary Arts Competitive Training Event at Fort Lee, Va. March 7, 2016. James, who earned a silver medal in the category, used the influences of her family heritage from the islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis and the Dominican Republic as inspiration for the dessert.
