Cooking Safely for a Crowd Workshop  -  There's a lot to learn about safe food preparation and handling and if you don't do it for a living, you may not be aware of all the special techniques involved in cooking for a large group of people.  You cook for a crowd if you volunteer to prepare, serve or handle food at a banquet, church supper, pancake breakfast, family reunion picnic, concession stand, fair booth, soup supper, etc.  Call Cami at 308-385-5088 to schedule a class.
