Nick’s culinary arts school burned down Tuesday.
Gone.
Demolished.
Nothing left.
His teacher, Chef Becky, lost her knives, her notes and her cookbooks. I’m going to donate the three America’s Test Kitchen cookbooks to her. I’ll miss them, but they’re going to a good cause.
Apparently the other cookbooks she really likes are Jacques Pepin’s. I just can’t give mine up, though, they were a Mother’s Day present years ago.
Also in the same building was the Nursing Assistant, Medical Assistant, Dental Assistant and Computer classes. And everything is just gone. All the kids’ work that they’ve done over the year. It’s just so sad.
The culinary class will share the school district’s kitchen through the end of the year, and they’re hoping to have the facility rebuilt by next fall.
My heart hurts for Chef Becky.
