The Best Cooking Lab Experience

The best cooking lab experience was the Terra Madre day cooking. Mostly because we had to plan and do everything by ourselves. I believe that’s what really inspires students to get into cooking, to be under pressure and to be excited to see what their food turns into. The Terra Madre day cooking was an experience like a restaurant. We were given very little time and had to plan everything out. Witch made it feel like a real cooking experience in my perspective. We had to look for a slow food meals, list ingredients and think of quantity. This is mainly what restaurants do when getting prepared for a meal. This is giving me and the students an option to get the real feel for cooking. Instead of getting given a recipe and everyone is making the same thing. It gives everyone freedom of choice on what to make plus they have the choice of making something they would've never thought to have tried. This lab also introduced healthy cooking. No deep-frying, no overdose on calories. It was all about Mother Nature’s healthy gifts. How the food created by the earth should be cooked regularly and not rushed like fast food companies.
