Your cooking show!

You are going to learn recipes from different countries.

In the box you receive, there are two pictures of typical recipes from the countries you are representing. You will also receive objects like a spoon, a pan, a bowl and pictures of the ingredients that they will use. The last thing in the box is an incomplete recipe. In groups, you must try to com-plete the recipe the best way that you can.

“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”George Bernard Shaw

“One should eat to live, not live to eat.”Moliere

On your own Keep in mind what was seen in today’s class: watch Julie & Julia (2009), an American comedy-drama fi lm starring Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. The fi lm contrasts the life of the French chef Julia Child in the early years of her culinary career with the life of young New Yorker Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes in Child’s cookbook in 365 days, a challenge she described on her popular blog that would make her a published author.
