Cook and tell

 Work with words here: Kitchen ware Flashcards | Quizlet

These words are also homework for next Wednesday (29/4)

 

Find a recipe!!

You are now going to prepare to write your recipe. Here are some tings you are NOT supposed to do: 

• - Do NOT use google translate for the whole text – write it yourself. 

• - Do NOT just take one recipe and use it as it is – you have to add something yourself. 

• 
  

Now – decide what kind of recipe you want. Find a basic one that you can use. Write it down yourself – and CHANGE it to your liking. As an example: pancakes recipe but you add chocolate or carrot into the batter.  

Don’t copy/paste, write it yourself, only refer to the base recipe for help. 

 

You write it by yourself – remember that I want you to film you making it. 

 

Good luck and take it easy – think about respecting the work space (arbetsro!!!)
