## Before cooking...

Now that you know how to read and follow a recipe, it's time to start cooking. But...

- Have you ever cooked before?
- Are you an expert in cooking or is it your first time?
- Do you think you are ready to cook?
- Do you think you can cook safely?
- Do you know how to measure ingredients?
- And how to boil an egg?

Don't worry if it is your first time or you don't know how to use the kitchen appliances. Here you have some advice before going into the kitchen. We are going to have a careful look at them. It's very important to pay attention!!!

STEP 1. Do you need inspiration? Watch the 20 Most Delicious Food in the world and get hungry!!

- Did you know all these foods?
- Which ones are new for you?
- Which one do you like the most?
- Which one do you like the least?
- Which ones do you want to try first?

STEP 2. Choose a recipe of any culture. It can be your family's recipe, a typical recipe in your town or area or a recipe from a different culture.

You can ask your family or friends, read a recipe's book, search on Google. But be careful! Some recipes can be very difficult because they need a lot of ingredients, lot of time, special utensils... So choose a recipe you understand and you can do, if necessary, with your parents help.

Sometimes the simple recipes are the most delicious!

Here you can find very easy recipes to cook (accessed on 31/05/2018):

- Kid Food Nation recipes

- Junior Chef Academy fun food recipes

STEP 3. Write the recipe.

When writing the recipe, remember the three important parts that we learnt: ingredients and measures, cooking utensils and steps. Make it as simple as possible to encourage people to cook it: use short sentences and simple language to help your classmates understand.

STEP 4. Cook the recipe.

Before start cooking remember to check you have all the ingredients and utensils needed. And very important, be sure you have enough TIME! Relax and enjoy cooking!

Ask for help if you need it, please don't take risks. There is nothing brave in that.

While you are cooking you can take pictures or record videos for the final presentation.

When you finish, don't forget to bring your dish to class so we can taste it!

STEP 5. Present your recipe.

You are going to tell your class how to make the recipe, so don't forget to tell them about the ingredients, the utensils they need and the steps.

You can make a demonstration in the class (bringing fake ingredients and utensils for example) or you can elaborate a Google Slides with your pictures or videos that helps you explain. Do you need help? Have a look at the video with the instructions on Tastes of the world page.

To finish we are going to make a recipes book with all your presentations and we will donate it to the Shcool's Library.
