Chef Samantha Cowens-Gasbarro

“In my nearly 30-year career in Child Nutrition, few presenters have impressed me as much as Cathy Powers.  Her course, Culinary Skills for A+ School Meals, is excellent and her delivery was inspirational to staff.  She knows the mindset of the school nutrition professional and clearly demonstrates how new methods can be accomplished.  This one course has changed the way we prepare food for students!”

Kathleen Kane, SNS, Director of School Nutrition , Valparaiso Community Schools

“I’m using Recipe Nutrient Analysis: best practices for chemical and calculated analysis on a daily basis. I’m participating in a massive project for a supermarket chain. The group has a dietitian on staff who also uses the book for referencing tough questions from our group of analysts. I don’t need to ask as many questions because the book is right there on my desk. So much excellent, well-researched information.”
