Welcome to Chef Talk! We're glad to add another teacher to our ranks, as we have a good number of culinary students seeking us out. We have a distinguished group of culinary instructors here, too! MBrown teaches pastry, but I think she's at the college level. Do some searching here and you'll find more. Jim and Cape Chef spring to mind as two more excellent instructors.
We hope you visit and participate often, in between grading papers.

(I'm a retired middle school teacher myself.) Enjoy!
Regards,
Mezzaluna
