INTERNATIONAL FOOD

We were speaking about nutrition and healthy diets, and we had to do a project about international food.

We were speaking about the two different pyramids and comparing them.

We had to choose one country of the continent we had, I had Africa, so I chose Mali.

Then we had to look for the diet and the fact file, and then we exchanged the information in groups. In my group the countries were Canada, Germany, Thailand, New Caledonia, South Corea and Mali. We were talking about them and we had to choose one, and we chose Canada because it is a very interested country for us because it has the healthiest diet and we didn't know too much about the country.

We looked for typically dishes of Canada and we had to prepare a menu for the restaurant we had to open. We called it Canvalahiyo. We had to decide the starters, de mains, the desserts and the special one, that we had to cook after that. We decided to cook Tourtiére from Quebec, that is like a meat cake.

We had to do a powerpoint explaining why we chose Canada, its fact file, our menu, and the nutritional info of the Tourtiére.

We had to shoot how we cook it, explain how we did it, the ingredients we used, etc.

When the dish was cooking, we brought it to the class and we opened the restaurant there, Pablo and Álvaro were the waiters and Carmen Cohen and Julia Prats the customers.

The cooking experience was my favourite part, because we laughed a lot doing the dish, shooting it and speaking English all at the same time! Our video was inspired in a TV program called Master Chef that consist in a competition between two groups cooking a dish, and the best dish is the winner. The problem was that the video was very long, but it was very funny, because we were singing at the same time we cleaned the kitchen and we shot it. It was my favourite part. I think we are great chefs!

This project is very interesting because we learn how to work in groups, how to do a presentation, to improve our body language, English, and obviously our internal chef!

It was a very good experience, and we really enjoyed.

And here's our video, enjoy it!
