"It was a pleasure to recommend Nanette Smalley for attending the school of American Chefs. Nanette was one of my students at the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, N.Y. During that period of a three week course, her professional cooking, behavior, work habits, love for food, ability to work with less knowledgeable persons was excellent. - Henri Patty C.E.C., C.C.E.
