國際兒童烹飪

We will be exploring the cuisine of four countries: China, France, Germany, and Japan.  The students along with their teacher will be shown step by step instructions on how to prepare the recipes. The recipes will be placed in the classroom about one week before class and will have flexible ingredients.  This class will teach the basics of cooking.

For China, we will prepare fried rice. Students will learn how to properly cook rice with flexible suggested ingredients. The lesson will start with safety in the kitchen along with what mise en place means, as I will expect them to assemble the ingredients before each lesson. For France, we will be making Crepes.  They will need a nonstick pan. They will be able to top their crepes with a variety of suggested toppings. I was also a French teacher, so I will teach basic language as we cook. When we visit Germany we will be making pretzels.  This is a fun activity for students as they will get to roll the dough.  In Japan, we will be making savory Japanese pancakes. These pancakes are delicious and very different from our cuisine.

Along with cooking, we will be learning about the cultures of these countries as I have lived in France and visited many countries.
