Stanwood High School culinary students are taking a recipe they developed in class to Camano Island’s annual Chili & Chowder Cook-Off this weekend.

The school’s SkillsUSA Culinary Club will serve its Three Little Pig Chowder on Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Camano Center. The Stanwood-Camano School District [announced the entry Friday](https://www.facebook.com/102341418044501%5F1805353338260740), describing it as the school’s first student entry in the competition.

Chef Brian Wallis made the cook-off part of the culinary curriculum, the district said. Students spent the past few weeks creating their recipe from scratch, testing flavor combinations and fine-tuning it in class. Saturday gives neighbors a chance to try what they have been working on.

The project connects classroom cooking with a public event. Stanwood High’s [career and technical education program](https://cte.stanwood.wednet.edu/student-organizations?ref=justabouts.com) lists Wallis as a SkillsUSA adviser and describes its student organizations as part of career and leadership development alongside classroom instruction.

## When and where to taste it

The Camano Island Chamber of Commerce’s [29th annual cook-off](https://www.camanoisland.org/signature-events/chili-chowder-cook-off?ref=justabouts.com) is at the Camano Center, [606 Arrowhead Road, Camano Island](https://camanocenter.org/contact-us/?ref=justabouts.com). Chili and chowder will be served from **3 to 6 p.m., or until the food runs out**. Awards are scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Each ticket includes ten tastings. Visitors can vote for their favorites in the chili, chowder and congeniality categories. The Chamber also lists live music, a raffle and an outdoor fire pit with s’mores.

Advance tickets are $25 plus the ticketing fee through **5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13**. The listed door price is $30\. Veterans and first responders can buy $15 tickets at the door with proper identification.

## A recipe to look forward to

The district says it plans to share the students’ results and the full Three Little Pig Chowder recipe after the cook-off. Readers who cannot attend will have another way to try the students’ work when that recipe is released.
