Students from Sugg Middle School wore blue aprons (围裙) and washed the potatoes before the bell rang. They were preparing a festival meal. For most of the students it was their first “real kitchen ” experience.
Valerie started the course last year. She said not every lesson was about cooking. Students also learned about the science behind cooking and nutrition, from which people got the food necessary for health and growth.
“I come home with recipes(食谱) , and my dad tells me cooking is a valuable skill and we should make it more often.” Valerie said.
Phillip was enjoying the class, even though burns (烧伤) and cuts happened often. He told a local newspaper, “Cooking is not of much interest to my age group, but our teacher, Mr. Green, makes it fun. I like to see what is in my food. ”
Mr. Green thought that cooking was a chance for students to practice teamwork skills . He said, “Everyone helps one another. They learn to share and work together.”
