Creative cooking – a recipe

Recipes typically contain specific lexic, e.g. verbs like sprinkle, stir, linkers like first of all, the, next, finally and nouns and quantifiers such as a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of sugar, and so on.

Nowadays creative cooking is on fashion and creative cooks become more and more famous and their fame  spreads wideworld.

Spanish cooks are awarded and Spanish cuisine is internationally appreciated. So today I suggest that we make a ry creative recipe.

Think of four qualities of a good teacher, e.g. patience, a nice smile, enthusiasm, colourful clothes, knowledge of subject...

Then writea "metaphorical" recipe and let your imagination run free.

Start by reading this one as example:

Ingredients: 3 teaspoons of patience 1-3 tablespoons of humour 100g of knowledge ½ litre of kindness 4 fresh eggs 30 g of butter 5 coloured board pens 1 whiteboard Salt and pepper to taste. Instructions: Mix the first six ingredients on the list in a large mixing bowl. Stir for at least 2 minutes, until the mixture is white and creamy. Add the pens and whiteboard and finally, season with salt and pepper. Pour it all into a large dish and place in the oven at gas mark 5 (190C). Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Serve with students

Pay attention to the "real and "imagined" ingredients and the "recipe language". Now create your own recipe. Choose one of the following recipes:

a. How to make a great party.

b. The perfect class.

c. The perfect student.

Enjoy the task!
