Foods II students went on a field trip to Lucia's Italian Kitchen in Effingham, where they learned about authentic Italian cooking. Students heard about quality ingredients and were shown how to make homemade pasta by Chef Geno. For lunch, students made their own pizzas with assistance from the chef. Afterwards, they stopped at the park for a little fun in the sun!
