My students absolutely love cooking and love using these recipes! Super functional and easy to implement!
Great!
I love how even the level 1 set is leveled for students!
Amazing, functional resource!
Love most of your resources but this one there was a lot of extra work that I needed to do. I found that some of my students became frustrated with the pages so I will have to adapt them.
I think that these recipes are suited for mainstream students.

This is a great resource.
I enjoy using this resource in my classroom.
It's comprehensive, and the preview of the file is exactly what you get with it. I just wish it was more readily usable to a wider variety of learners, it is lacking visuals which means you need to do a lot of legwork to make it more accessible to lots of students.
love!
My students love to cook in class. This is a great resource that offers functional cooking directions. We LOVE IT!!
I work for an after school cooking program, and this is helpful as I help students with following recipes through virtual learning.
Good resource.
