Dear Students of the 2023 Pass The Spatula Team

Wow! Can you believe that you’re actually holding a print copy of the magazine we created together? It feels like only yesterday that we had our first workshop and decided on the theme. Six months ago, we couldn’t even visualize how everything was going to come together, but look at how far your hard work has come. We couldn’t be more proud of each and every one of you. Throughout this process, we’ve witnessed your skill sets grow, watched you tackle challenges, and seen you push past your comfort zones to bring this magazine to life. It was truly a pleasure to work with you all. Some of our favorite moments include watching you develop and test your recipes (seriously, the food you guys made is so impressive and of course delicious!)

This magazine is a living example of how talented and determined each of you are. As you continue to grow, we hope that you’ll always remember the hard work and dedication you put into Pass The Spatula Issue 4. Look Ma - We Made It!

You guys are amazing! You really showed everyone why this is the best issue yet!

Y’all are so talented and intelligent. Holding this, and reading it, brings me to tears. No words will do justice for how proud I am of you! This was hard work, and you all did such an incredible job!

We asked and of course you delivered, the greatest issue of PTS yet! Yeah I said it. As someone who has worked on all 4 PTS issues I am proud beyond words of this group and the collaboration behind making this happen. Always stay true to self and be you, everyone else is taken.

I’m excited for the world to see all of your hard work and passion for food and media on paper.

Thanks for being you! Without you, none of this amazing work would have been possible. So thank you and make sure to thank yourselves because you all are incredible!

Every page of this issue is incredible and I’m in awe of each and every one of you

Watching this PTS process evolve has been an honor. You all are incredibly talented and creative people destined for greatness! Keep challenging yourselves, I will be cheering for you, always!
