Why did you decide to take Foods of the World?
One of the biggest reasons I decided to take Foods of the World is because I really enjoy cooking, eating, and learning about different types of dishes created all over the world. I am fascinated with the culture and traditions that each country has. In addition to this, I am a senior, therefore I thought it would be a cool way to end my high school years with one of my electives. This class is a great way to start my mornings because it really wakes me up and gets me going. Finally, I get to have fun with my best friend as well as create new friendships with my other group members.
What are you most excited for in this class?
The thing I am most excited for in this class is being able to work on my skills and become more advanced in cooking. I am excited to be able to work with my best friend and learn about cultures and traditions that I have never really learned about at all. Not only that, but since I am Mexican, I am also excited to cook dishes from Mexico because it is my favorite. I can learn how to cook these different recipes and help my mom in the kitchen, or possibly even introduce new recipes that she has never done.
Which unit sounds the most interesting to you and why?
Personally, the unit that sounds most interesting to me is the Greece unit. This is because I’ve never really heard about Greek food. I have at least some idea about every other unit, but I can’t really imagine what Greek food is like. I’m really excited to learn about the Greek culture because once again, I don’t really hear about it. Of course I’ve learned about some Greek history back in my freshman year Global Studies class, but since then, I’ve never really looked into the Greek culture or traditions. I can’t wait to be able to learn about their culture, traditions and especially their food and being able to cook and taste some cool recipes.
