To the Editor, I walked your campus as a visitor this evening and stumbled upon your newly built Commons area. What a gorgeous site to see! My two small children were enthralled by the pizza oven and we felt as though we’d walked into a warm, welcoming home kitchen despite the buildings’ enormity. My husband, Satie Gossett, attended Andover and we were touring the school and discussing how lovely it would be that our children might one day attend. As a pastry chef, I appreciate that Andover took the time to build a culinary home for its students that not only increases the value of its campus, but the quality of dining that we hope all students continue to enjoy. One of your faculty members was leaving the building as we were entering and was kind enough to give us a little info on your food waste prevention and recycling programs. We are business owners in California and are heartened to hear that such programs are being implemented on this coast, especially in an learning environment, where such practices become commonplace once students reach the workforce. I wish that this new building and its participation by students inspires a new generation of chefs, culinary experts and pioneers in food business. Warmest and most delicious regards, Clemence Gossett info@gourmandisedesserts.com
