International Cooking

Hello everyone!

Today, we went to Zespol Szkol im. Boleslawa Prusa to have a cooking session with the students. We were five volunteers so the class was divided into five groups. Each group had a different recipe from different countries.

First group was Tudal's, so he had two dishes from France; galettes and ratatouille. Galettes are a different type of crepes which is stuffed with eggs,cheese and ham. And ratatouille is made of different vegetables like eggplants,zucchinis and etc. They both were really delicious.

Second group was Jennifer's and she made a soup called Sopa de Frijoles from Honduras. There were platains(green bananas), meat, black beans and a different kind of potatoes typical to Honduras in it and it was served with hand made tortillas which was really delicious.

Third was Cesar's group and they made Baleadas which is a traditional food from Honduras. There was smashed beans, cheese, avocados and scrambled eggs in it. He said that they can eat Baleadas for breakfast lunch or dinner, so it is very common😄

Fourth group was mine and we cooked Lahana Sarmasi which is a very popular dish in Turkey. This is basically cabbage rolls stuffed with rice and meat. The cabbage should be boiled and when they get softer, they are stuffed with the rice and meat. Then it is cooked in a pan with water. In Poland, they have a very similar dish called Golabki, so the students could compare these two dishes and see the differences.

Fifth group was Marta's and they baked typical Croatioan cookies called Vanilin Kiflice. They were the fastest group but the cookies was really tasty! 😍 They used a lot of walnuts in the cookie. And the consistency of the cookie was very good.

Finally, after everyone finished cooking, we tasted all the foods we prepared. They were all so delicious. We also learned a lot of things about different cuisines and their eating habits.
