Cooking Club

    My friend Karina and I have been organizing a weekly cooking club, starting from last year, because we have realized that it was a great opportunity to combine our creativity and passion for cooking. The club has been running every Monday lunchtime in the chemistry lab. The hardest part has been to choose a recipe for next week's club as there were certain limitations that we had to face, such as lack of an oven or any heat.
    We have already taught younger students how to cook Asian rolls, a muffin in a mug, omelette in a microwave, ginger and grape tartlets and the Halloween special - cookie monsters. Overall, every session we had more than 7 students from different year groups coming to our club, on some occasions the number of visitors we had was more than 12! In order to keep people informed about the next week's recipes Karina and I have decorated a board in the corridor, so that we could put up notices, telling people what the next week's cooking club will feature.
   Overall, so far I think the club has shown to be a success, even despite the fact that we had to clean everything up after the younger students. Many people brought food containers with them, so that they could take what they cooked home to show to their parents - we thought it was very nice of them to do that and it encouraged us to think outside the box, so the students would have something new to show to their parents every week.

I believe that we have meet the following learning outcomes:
- Planned and initiated activities
- Worked collaboratively with others
- Shown perseverance and commitment to the activity
- Increased awareness of strengths and weaknesses
