One day in a foods teacher's life, anywhere in B.C.

Behind the scenes, from grocery transport to set up, in class cooking and clean up!

Quick and easy!

I teach how to make food from scratch; it saves money.  There is nothing wrong with using packaged foods and sauces (maybe sodium?).  A slow cooker, bag of pre-cooked Costco meatballs and a jar of Hy's teriyaki sauce.  The appetizer, or meal item can cook while I put away the Christmas decorations!

Aprons - do you wear one when you cook?

Vintage (old looking) aprons are everywhere this year.  I wear an apron when I cook.  Do I force others to?  No. These pictures are of aprons my Grandmother sewed (I still have her treadle machine) before 1968.  Lots of rick rack and bias tape. The model is my dress form.
