"Baking is often thought of as a science. Cooking, on the other hand, is usually considered an art. This recipes in this cookbook work well as is, but can also be adapted and modified by artful, creative educational chefs to meet the specific needs of their students. Highly recommended!" -- Roger
Mantie, Program Director and Associate Professor of Music, University of Toronto Scarborough, and co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Technology and Music Education
