Cooking Around the World Class made Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya for their first lab of the semester. The students have been discussing different ethnic and cultural groups. They talked about what ethnic group their family is from and if they have any family recipes and traditions. Since it was Friday the leftovers went to the custodians because they had a wrestling tournament to work on the weekend. They loved it!
