Welcome to Chef Talk, Roux! I'm glad you met the person you did (the chef/instructor told us he was going

). You'll be delighted, amused, and rewarded by participating here.
I'm a retired teacher and I know how rewarding the profession can be. Still, I bet your students are more eager about your class than mine were about reading intervention.

We did cook and eat a lot, though!
Please have a look around the site and enjoy its features: cooking articles, cookbook reviews, recipes, blogs, the photo gallery- and a search tool to help you pinpoint topics. We'll look forward to your participation in the community.
Regards,
Mezzaluna
