Class discussion topic- What is your favourite food to
make?
I will put you all into chat rooms. You will be in the
chat room with five other people. You can discuss the topic. This is not a test.
This is a chance to relax and talk about food, maybe share some recipes.
I’ll bring you back in about 10 minutes.
chickpeas – falafel, hummous
Where is a good place for falafel? Mediterean Food, Denman
St downtown
Mr. Shwarma, close to Burrard Station
Chinese dumplings
Homework:
Think of a good recipe that you like to make. Break
down 4-5 steps how to make the recipe. Write down the steps. We can share these
tomorrow. Any food is ok- even a simple sandwich is ok. Doesn’t have to be
fancy.
