I'm not much of a cook, but my students cook every week on Friday during the cooking class. These lessons are provided by my colleague, who used to be a chef at the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam. We are lucky to have him as a teacher at our school now.

Last week the mother of one of my students was a guest teacher in the kitchen. She learned the students how to prepare a Brazilian fish dish.

Two of my students received a special assignment from me. I wanted them to make a recipe for the fish dish. One of the students needed to figure out all the ingredients and how the fish dish was prepared, while the other student made pictures during the lesson.

After the cooking class both students needed to work together to combine the text and the pictures to an appealing recipe, using MS Word to do it.

They worked on it for a few hours and the end result was pretty impressive. Keep in mind that the students I work with, all have learning disabilities and wrote it in Dutch.

I made a translation of the actual recipe. The students were not quite accurate with the exact amounts of ingredients and the preperation time, but I am confident that you can make someting out of it.

The recipe below is for approximately 10 persons.

Ingredients:

5 codfish

500 ml coconut milk

1 saffron

400 gr creme fraise

3 bell peppers

2 garlic

Heat some oil in the pan and bake the codfish. Add the vegetables and bake until it's cooked the way you like it. Add the coconut milk and creme fraise half way.
