Cooking with English


This was the first in what will become a series of lessons entitled, 'cooking with English.'  We found this dried fish in the market and had our primary teachers discuss their favourite recipes and share them with us and their colleagues.

The lesson had several advantages.  It gave the teachers the opportunity to learn and practice food vocabulary and allowed them to give detailed explanations and directions in English.  It is a confidence builder to talk about a subject with which you are interested in and comfortable with.

Tonight we will use the recipes developed in the class to prepare this fish.

Next week's 'Cooking with English' session will be entitled, 'Help Debra Prepare these Green Bananas'.
