Anderson County Career and Technical Center

When I began teaching cooking classes I never dreamed I would find it so rewarding. But I did and it is because of the all the people I've met along the way. One program that stands out is the culinary school at the Anderson County Career and Technical Center. . The students are the cream of the crop. They have entertained me, surprised me with their skills and wormed their way into my heart.

I've been substituting for two months now while their teacher recuperates from surgery. She will be returning soon and my time will be coming to an end. I will miss each one of them but I hope to see them again, maybe as a famous chef or a food science professional. Who knows where they might land but I am sure they will be successful wherever they go.

Some of the many things we've cooked while I've been with them:

I was amazed at the cheesecakes they made. They were delicious, creamy and actually perfect. And they are teens!! They made me proud.

Chocolate Cheese Cake


Lemon Cheesecake with Lemon Zest


And cookies, Biscuits, salads, casseroles and much much more.
