Welcome to Beginning Foods Qtr. 3

Welcome back to school and I am so happy that you are in my class!  We will be doing lots of cooking, but before we get started with that, we will be learning about kitchen and food safety, abbreviations and equivalents, measuring and kitchen equipment! And all students must pass a SAFETY TEST with an 85% or better in order to cook. So study all of your handouts over the next week so you are prepared to take the Safety Test.

Safety Test for A day classes is scheduled for Wednesday, January 25th and B day classes takes it on the 26th.

Good luck!
