Natural Chef Culinary Arts Program

Basic Culinary: Very first class, yesterday in Room 133, in the Sustainable-LEED building on the CCCC campus. We are making history!!

Happy faces, big wide grins, and even a few joy-filled tears!! The first day was a history-making success!! Our Pioneers Rock!!!

Tomorrow is the first day of classes in our state of the art kitchen. It is gorgeous. Congratulation to the three fabulous instructors. Chef Kelly TAylor, Chef Todd Dumke and Chef Steve Caldwell. And to the "Pioneer" students. We are so proud of all of you.

Joel was here! The event was a huge success. We estimated 350, but others said over 400!!!! Some of our wonderful guests/supporters actually sat on the grass and even some on the concrete outside the building and listened to his talk. We apologize for the inconvenience. We hope all enjoyed Angelina's awesome food and the food from the sistainable garden, prepared by the Natural Chef Instructors. Thank you Joel!
