All of the teaching unit recipes and all of the personal favorite recipes of Mundelein High School Foods teacher, Jerri Craven, have been placed into a cookbook which is being sold to fund a scholarship in Craven’s name. The beloved teacher died unexpectedly in September.
Following her death, countless students and alumni commented on Facebook that they still make many of the dishes that Craven taught them in her classes. They also said that they wish they had saved the other recipes. With those comments, the idea was born to have a collection of both the coursework recipes and also many of the favorites that the students learned during the courses.
