I am learning so much and am enjoying every bit of it!  The book is an easy read - not dry or boring - and is filled with details, tips, history, and great pictures!  Absolutely loving it!

Dear Abey,

           Hi! I am in the Gourmet Cooking and Catering class as well. I would love to be friends with you:). Let me know what you think. Maybe would could come up with some good recipes together...our possibilities are limitless. Take care and hope to hear from you soon. I'm 49 years old and live in Acworth. I pray my age doesn't interfere with such a wonderful opportunity as becoming friends.

Your friend( I hope),

DeeAnne Hedrick

Hi, Dee! I enjoy cooking and trying different recipes for family and friends. So, I am really excited about meeting new people who share the same interest. We're in the same age range, I turned 50 this year. Anyway, I hope to get to know you and a lot of others. Take care and enjoy your weekend!

Hi Vicki

My name is Mary...sorry...probably should have said that earlier...lol.

I received my books on Thursday but I didn't have  chance to even open them until today.  I completed my first test and did pretty well.  So far so good.

Do you work in the food industry?  I do not. I have always been interested in the catering world and hope that by taking this course I may have the confidence to step into that world.

I hope you had a great weekend!

Mary

Hopefully today is a good mail day!  I also have an office job.  Tried to get a little more reading done last night but with Hell's Kitchen and Master Chef on tv I wasn't very successful....lol.

Have a great day!

Mary
