COMENIUS COOKBOOK 2006 This cookbook represents the second year’s final product of our Comenius project. We started with on line contacts with Dutch, Finnish, Italian and Polish friends. We had regular school meetings in order to prepare the exchange week and to look for the recipes to put into this cookbook. After interviewing our relatives about traditional dishes, we selected the most popular ones. We also put in practice our recipes at our teacher’s place. We had a lot of fun............it was our first time in cooking. Weeks and weeks went on waiting for “THE WEEK IN DRACHTEN”. And finally we left! We were overjoyed! It was great !!!!!!!!! So many new experiences: night and day English speaking, living in a foreign country, cycling everyday, Dutch “spring”, Fierljeppen, trips on our own (no teachers), Spring Fiesta, cooking and tasting new food. The climax of the week was the INTERNATIONAL COOKING PARTY. What a panic in the kitchen. It was cooking time!!!!!!!! At the end we were tired but proud. Everybody liked COMENIUS dishes!
