A fun, all encompassing course where students cook simple to gourmet meals, barbecue with charcoal and gas grills, plan dinner parties and personal budgets, learn to shop at a variety of retailers, sew, garden, and plan outings to various venues. Coursework will culminate in the students preparation of a graduation meal for 50 or more individuals!
