Your computer center was part of my life for months and it makes me sad I will not be taking any more classes. I want to thank you for the professional and friendly environment you provided me and continue to provide for other students. When I fi rst met with you about the classes and you explained how the learning model worked, where the student would learn at his/her own pace, I was a little skeptical because I had always attended structured classes of short duration.

During my very fi rst class, which happened to be a PowerPoint class, I was amazed at how much I learned. I liked the self-pace methodology because I did not feel pressured to keep up with other students. Following the book instructions and samples was a very effi cient way to spend my time, and having you and/or Brenda present to help whenever I had questions or ran into problems, was amazing. I have taken computer classes in the past and I can honestly say that I had never learned as much before as I did in your classes.

I am blessed to have had the opportunity to attend Hennepin Technical College as much as I did. I am practicing my newly acquired skills and love my confi dence and self-suffi ciency.”

Cooking for Health and WellnessEveryone seems to know that some foods, in excess, are not good for you. Ingredients that supply a lot of fat can create a dish that is satisfying and tasty. Alternatively, low fat ingredients often are good for you, but lack a pleasing “mouth feel” and leave the diner unsatisfi ed. This course is designed to use elements in cooking that add texture, fl avor and color to make meals more enjoyable and are also good for you. Inspiration for the dishes that you will prepare come from a global perspective of food preparation and technique. Menus from Asia, regional cuisine of the United States and the Caribbean give us a multitude of choices. Jerk pork, for example starts with a lean cut of pork loin and develops it’s fl avors using spices and cooking technique that results in a fl avorful, satisfying and healthy treat. The classes will explore salads, soups, entrees, breads, side dishes and desserts. Beyond the enrollment fee, the course also requires $50 lab fee for ingredients. Note: bring supply containers for yourself since there will be enough food to bring some home. If you have a favorite knife you like to work with, please feel free to bring it.
