Holiday Food Safety

Dec 8, 2008

This is the time of year for potlucks, parties, finger food and food born illnesses.  Take some time to know how to properly prepare and protect food from possible food  born illnesses and do it in a fun way....besides nobody wants to be sick during the holidays.

Amy Breschini, (abreschini@co.slo.ca.us), coodinator in San Luis Obispo County, has developed a terrific on-line training tool that makes learning about food safety fun.  Before you get to the fun part, you might go to: http://camastergardeners.ucdavis.edu/files/42278.pdf  and read up on cooking for groups. 

You will now ace the next part of this fun link to food safety:

Special thanks to Amy for sharing her great idea!  Share it with your fellow Master Gardeners today.  Happy Holidays.
