Materials: Dependent on student interest (a google form will be sent out soon) the cost of food items will vary. I will do my best to gage cost off current market and will also work with students to work within a budget! Once I have received what the students are interested in cooking, I will firm up material fee. 

Each student will receive a uniform including a name badge and an apron that they will keep after completion of the class. Each student will be expected to wear close toed shoes during class for safety purposes.
