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!

Bread Cheese & Cloudberry Jam

Bread cheese is a fresh cheese traditionally made from milk from cow that has
recently given birth. The milk is curdled and set to form a round disk from two to
three centimeters thick. After this, the cheese is baked, grilled or flambéed to give
it its distinctive brown or charred marks. The flavour of this cheese is very mild,
and good quality cheese squeaks against teeth when bitten.
Cut pieces of cheese onto a plate, pour some cream on the pieces and add cloudberry
Jam.

Bigos
Bigos
Bigos is considered the Polish national dish by many.
Ingredients
2 kg fresh cabbage
2 kg fermented cabbage (sauerkraut)
500 g pork or venison
250 g sausage
250 g bacon
fresh or dried mushrooms
unground black pepper, salt, bay leaf
Procedure
Chop the cabbage, add pepper and salt, a part of the mushrooms and bay leaf, and
cook until soft (about 2-3 hours). Chop the bacon and let it melt in a frying pan.
Fry the chopped meat and sausage in the grease. If necessary, drain excess water
from the stewed cabbage and add the fried meat, bacon, and sausage along with the
grease out of the pan. Stew everything as long as possible - the longer, the better.
When ready, the dish should be a thick mash that does not “leak” water on the plate;
it should be mildly sour and have a strong flavour of smoked bacon.
There are countless variations of this basic recipe. According to some, the amount of
meat should be equal to the amount of cabbage; others prefer to use only fermented
cabbage.
