Welcome back to school and the start of Rio Norte's 10th year! 
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 Friday, August 24th and B day classes takes it on the 27th.

What are you most interested in learning about in this class (be more specific than " I just want to learn to cook". What would you like to cook in here?

Good luck!
