Nancy R. Chandler Lecture Series explores the "Fresh vs. Frozen" debate
Central Oregon Community College’s (COCC) long-established and recently renamed Nancy
R. Chandler Lecture Series is hosting its first program of the fall season, “Fresh
vs. Frozen,” at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 11, on the patio of COCC's Cascade Culinary
Institute in Bend. The event features Ann Colonna, sensory program director for Oregon
State University’s Food Innovation Center, who will share the science in the fresh
vs. frozen debate, covering the latest processes and benefits of flash-frozen seafood
and vegetables. Guests will participate in a blind taste test of fresh vs. frozen
Oregon black cod, prepared by Cascade Culinary Institute students. Tickets are $45
and include the presentation and taste test with wine pairing. Tickets available at
cocc.edu/foundation/cls.
