Sally B Mitchell began her teaching career in 1983 and, as a STEM teacher from the beginning, has taught biology, physics, chemistry, forensics, and mathematics. In 1984, she purchased a book called “On Food and Cooking” by Harold McGee, and her passion for food science began to grow. Now Sally is sharing her love of food science and experiences from her chemistry classroom Online.
All of her recipes are written in metric units to make cooking and baking easier. Sally posts videos of her cooking and chemistry experiences so keep checking back for updates. You can follow her on twitter @sallybchemistry and on Facebook at Sally B Chemistry.
Sally served as an Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow in the Department of Energy, Office of Science for the 2015-2016 school year and has returned to the classroom as a chemistry and physics teacher at Rye High School, Rye, NY.
