Western Cooking Class

Today I had the great pleasure of teaching Tianma International School's first Western Cooking Class, along with my fellow foreign teacher Sharon. We taught our students how to cook pasta and tomato sauce and how to make salad. One sauce was vegetable based and the other was meat. The students were from grade 5 to 7. This was my first time teaching a cooking class and it was a lot of fun. I love food and love to cook so the opportunity to share my hobby with my students was a pleasure. Everyone had a great time and my students loved the food. Check out some of our pictures.

Kitchen is hot! Bacon is frying for the sauce, pasta is steaming, and vegetables are being chopped. 

Everyone posed for a quick photo, except for King, he's the one too focused on frying the bacon. Smart man.

Here's Sharon's table almost done cooking. 

Here everyone is eating the pasta. Kelly is the Chinese teacher saying that my pasta is BETTER than Sharon's, that's right. At the end of the video the kids run over and maul the pasta bowl.

King serving the students. He is a natural leader. Smart and rebellious as well.

Salad! They were sceptical at first but once they tried it they couldn't stop. Here they are scraping the bowl for all the green. A few third graders smelled the goods and snuck upstairs for our food too. 

Bill and David enjoying their pasta. Seventh grade students.

Lanky and Anna mid-bite.

Eva and Mike happy with their salad. They are some of the third graders that snuck into the class.  They're both extremely smart and their English is at about an 8th grade level. Angels.

Coco didn't seem to happy being documented eating her food. She is a teaching intern.
