We are cooking now!

We finally made it to our first cooking lab - chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies, and we didn't set off any fire alarms! Overall, the students did pretty well, and we are just beginning... next week pancakes and coffee cakes!

Just a couple of reminders: Home Cooking Assignment #1 - is due September 17th for A day classes and September 18th for B day classes. Remember, students may cook any recipe as long as it has 3 ingredients that need to be measured. You may use any of the recipes found on this website, or any recipe from home or  other websites. Please attach a copy of the recipe if you are cooking something not from this website.

If any students/parents are still considering donating funds to our Exploring Culinary classes, students can bring in checks made out to Rio Norte ASB or cash. Any donation is very much appreciated!
