Specifically about the cooking videos
From 5 to 12 October, it is Our Food Week. Would you like to cook with the class? Then use the cooking videos from Smaaklessen. There are cooking videos for grades 3 through 8. For example, make the rainbow wrap with TV chef Sandra Ysbrandy or the Olé Tabouleh with chef and cookbook author Ramon Beuk. The chefs guide the class through the recipe step by step.
During the cooking lesson, pupils learn cooking skills such as cutting, grating and combining flavours. Other skills, such as measuring, reading, planning and working together, are also covered.
You can find the cooking videos and the manual via this link: www.voedseleducatie.nl.
