Cooking lesson. 26th January
We're in a school Kitchen in Hoboken watching out students cook out lunch. Outside it's all white. It's snowing. The students are divided into small groups of three or four: Italians and Belgians host students mixed together preparing "vol au vents" and "pannekoeken".
We, Italian teachers, arrived here late as we got lost and couldn't find the school.
We saw them very busy cutting meat and mushrooms under the supervision of Lieve Dirks,Valerie Lesneuck and Kenny Venmans.
They were taking it seriously asking each other for advice. There was a good smell coming out of the saucepans. The timing was perfect and everything was ready for lunchtime. Every group invited a teacher to taste their dishes. The dishes looked very good and tasted delicious. Before the families arrived, the kitchen
was clean again as if no one had been there.
It was a very positive experience for the students since many of them had never cooked before.
