Chef Sarkis Takvoryan Volunteers To Cook For Dickranian School Students

Los Angeles, December 8, 2009 - Monday December the 7th's luncheon menu at TCA Arshag Dickranian School was a special treat for the students, teachers and staff. It was a pleasant sight seeing students from Pre-K to 12th grade lined up at the kitchen counter of the Walter and Laurel Karabian Hall to be served the Philly Steak Sandwich deliciously prepared by the visiting young chef Sarkis Takvoryan, who attended Dickranian School.

This was Sarkis's second visit to cook at the TCA Arshag Dickranian School. "The PTO kitchen committee members work tirelessly preparing and serving the daily lunches for the students.  I decided to volunteer cooking for them because I would like to give something back to this school," said chef Takvoryan, "I also wanted to be a role model for the students and perhaps encourage some of them to pursue exploring the art of cooking.

Having found his niche in cooking after completing 11th grade at ADS, Takvoryan enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu Paris culinary school and completed the program within a year specializing in French, Italian and Middle Eastern cuisines. At present he works at the Marquis Restaurant in Glendale, California, where he plans having his own "finger food" lounge.

Located at 1200 North Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, the TCA Arshag Dickranian Armenian School is a federally tax exempt, Pre-K to 12th grade private educational institution. For more information visit www.dickranianschool.org.
