Student fees are only $10 for the entire semester. Just a drop in the bucket to cook with my kids every week. That is why these donations were and are so valuable to me, my kids, and my school's culinary program. \r\nWe are learning about mother sauces and will make a bechamel this week, and then turn it into an alfredo sauce.
