A new Cuisinart blender and food processor will help my students become more adventurous in the kitchen, learn about the healthy aspects of cooking their own meals, and try out new delicious recipes. In addition, the mixing bowls, cooking utensils are a much-needed upgrade from our current kitchen tools which are almost older than they are! Please help my special needs students learn safe food handling skills, proper cooking techniques, and become more confident by learning how to cook for themselves. If all goes well, we plan to expand and provide food items and drinks to the staff and faculty. My staff and I are all Serv-Safe Food Handler certified, with previous experience in the foodservice industry. We are ready to help our students become young entrepreneurs with your help.
