    Thank you so much for an amazing donation that are going to inspire my students to enjoy their space and to make different flavors of ice cream that will give them gratitude towards you.

  • We Need a Copper Pot to Pull Sugar

    Funded Jan 1, 2025

    The students in my class have been utilizing the pots within a unit comprised of cooking pasta. Analyzing how different geological Italian regions effect the process of cooking pasta. E.g. Northern Italian dishes contain more dairy, due to how plentiful grass and cows are in the region, making the dishes creamier traditionally. The pots have helped more stations of students cook multiple dishes at once within the room as well, speeding up efficiency within the classroom.

    Me and my students were ecstatic due to the new cooking materials supplied. We were able to get rid of the old supplies to replace them with your new ones. The fresh materials reinvigorated the class to push further within our current unit of pasta and the geological differences in cooking methods and recipes.

    We plan to delve further into how regional differences impact dishes and the changes in their specific ingredients, as of now, using pasta types as well as pasta recipes (for example: alfredo pasta) as a base for furthering understanding of regional dish differences while doing research papers on the topic.”

  • Literacy Through Culinary Cook Books

    Funded Jan 1, 2025

    Cookbooks have a collection of receipts of many different foods and information about preparing and serving the foods cookbooks not only help us cook our favorite foods but also show us foods of different cultures. Reading is a class skill where it can be done everywhere but more specifically it helps us in the culinary class because it can show our students how to cook foods I will recommend the new students who are getting into cooking because since they are freshly new they don't have the same experience as the students who have been cooking in their homes and in our class for a school year already.”

    Mr. Barone

  • We Need Mixing Bowls to Create Culinary Delights

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    We are using the mixing Bowls in classes for our culinary arts class. We made our quick bread unit and within the bread unit we made banana bread, cranberry white chocolate bread, and we also did carrot bread etc. The students had so much fun eating and sharing with the teachers. All the students got involved with each individual role to make all of these foods. As soon as the students were introduced to the new materials, they were so happy, content and they were glad they were able to make more delicious foods. The next steps for our classroom lesson are that the students are going to make foods from different cultures and share the culture with other students and staff. I am sure that they will like this lesson .”

I have students from many different ethnic backgrounds that find cooking period such a wonderful outlet to their day. It adds some variety to a day that can become overwhelming with regular classes. We study so many different chefs to gain knowledge about their cooking styles, but also to see how many of them came from very little and have made great strides and accomplishments, in the end inspiring all of us to do something great with ourselves.
