Transcript of Traditional dishes
BEFORE
NOW
If you walk through our streets, you will feel the scent of good food that can reverse the mood of the moment and cheer up any sad person!That scent was very well known to our grandmothers, great grandmothers as well as it is to us today. The link with the past is the most lively and profound through the food. Food determines the life of every individual in the most memorable way.
To keep the tradition alive, 2nd grade pupils of Elementary school Marjan did their best to collect the recipes for a small portion of tasty traditional dishes in order to preserve them for the future.
This school year, pupils are learning about healthy and varied diet, so, together with their teacher they decided to collect recipes for healthy food and dishes that are traditionally cooked in this region.They tried to prepare some dishes with the help and assistance of their mothers and grandmothers.Let's take a look!
Menu
We have agreed on who is going to bring which food, bearing in mind that it should be local and ecologically grown.
Then we determined what we all like the best and decided what to cook.
Warm appetizer: fish soup of hake - cook: Dario’s grandma MaricaMain dish: baked octopus with
potatoes and five kinds of salad, homemade bread
- cooks: Hrvoje’s grandma Vera and Gabriel’s grandma Katija
Dessert: hrostuli and fritters - cooks: Tino’s grandma Vinja and
Livia’s grandma Ana
Good preparation is half the work done
Pupils were divided into three groups. The first group washed the vegetables and prepared the kitchen utensils.
The second group squeezed some local lemons and oranges to make refreshing drinks
The third group carefully set the tables
The big chefs and the little chefs
Very pleased grandmothers told us that this was a great start. Lunch is still the main meal that brings together the whole family, and is based on local vegetables, fish and seafood, Mediterranean spices and olive oil.
Grandmas Vinja and Ana – the dessert
Grandma Marica – warm appetizer
Grandma Vera – the main dish
Octopus as a star of the day
Veronica's dad caught a fresh octopus while divingin the sea. It is not easy to clean the octopus.Where are its teeth?
Union is strength.
Hake soup is both delicious and good for you.
The Fruit is nature's candy
Hrostuli and fritters make for excellent dessert.
Too many cooks spoil the broth – or do they?
Normally, it takes about an hour to roast the octopus but our oven malfunctioned and it only slightly warmed it. Nevertheless, the grannies improvised and fried the octopus in a pan so that children wouldn’t go hungry.
The children were taught an important lesson – „if life deals you lemons, make lemonade..” They ate their lunch and, of course, drunk their lemonade with pleasure.
Table manners are important.You are what you eat.
After lunch, the pupils set up a play calledFruit talk
In the end
The children washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.
They have learned to cherish and preserve for the next generation the traditional values they inherited from their grandmothers and grandfathers.
Everyone enjoyed learning without pen and paper and looks forward to our next gathering in the kitchen.
And now just a couple of recipes for the dessert.
Enjoy!
