Homework 2: A New Recipe Collection of Classwork, Catering, and Competition is the second volume from the T.F. Riggs Culinary Arts Department and the GovChefs program in Pierre, South Dakota. This cookbook celebrates student learning, classroom-tested recipes, catering favorites, and competition dishes developed through hands-on culinary education. Inside, readers will find approachable starters, mains, desserts, breads, sides, and catering recipes created, tested, and refined by culinary students. The collection also includes recipes inspired by GovChefs’ ProStart competition journey, including dishes connected to their hard-earned back-to-back South Dakota ProStart State Champion titles in 2025 and 2026. More than a recipe book, this volume captures the work, creativity, growth, and pride of students learning what it means to cook with purpose. From classroom labs to catering events to the pressure of competition, these pages reflect the heart of the GovChefs program: learning by doing, improving through practice, and sharing good food with others.
