Teaching my cousin to cook
When it happened
I'm going to talk about a time last summer when I taught my younger cousin how to cook. It was during the school holidays, and she came to stay with me for a few weeks.
What you taught
I decided to teach her how to make some basic but essential dishes. We started with some simple recipes like spaghetti Bolognese, a basic stir-fry, and how to bake a chocolate cake. These are all dishes that I think everyone should know how to make because they are simple, nutritious, and delicious.
Who you taught
My cousin, who was 15 at the time, had hardly any experience in the kitchen. Her parents are both very busy professionals who often resort to takeout, so she was really eager to learn how to cook for herself.
Why you taught this person
I taught her because I believe cooking is a vital life skill. It's not only about feeding yourself but also about understanding what goes into your body. I wanted her to be able to take care of herself once she goes off to university and also share the joy that cooking can bring.
How you felt about the teaching
Teaching her was incredibly rewarding. At first, she was a bit hesitant and unsure around the kitchen, but by the end of her visit, she was much more confident and could whip up several dishes with little guidance. Seeing her proud of her own achievements made me feel fulfilled as a teacher. It was a bonding experience for us too, and it brought us closer together. Plus, it was a lot of fun to see her excitement over successfully making meals on her own.
教我的表妹煮飯
發生的時間
我要談談去年夏天我教我表妹如何烹飪的一次經歷。那是在暑假期間,她來跟我住了幾個星期。
教了什麼
我決定教她做一些基本但重要的菜餚。我們從一些簡單的食譜開始,比如義大利肉醬意大利麵、簡單的炒菜,以及如何烤巧克力蛋糕。這是我認為每個人都應該知道如何做的菜餚,因為它們簡單、營養且美味。
你教的對象
我表妹當時15歲,在廚房幾乎沒有經驗。她的父母都是非常忙碌的專業人士,常常訂外賣,所以她非常渴望學會為自己烹飪。
為什麼教這個人
我教她是因為我認為烹飪是一項重要的生活技能。這不僅僅是為了讓自己吃飽,還要了解自己身體吸收了什麼。我希望她能夠照顧好自己,一旦去大學也能分享烹飪帶來的快樂。
對於教學的感受
教她真的很有成就感。一開始,她在廚房周圍有些猶豫和不自信,但在她來訪結束時,她變得更有信心,只需要少量指導就能做出幾道菜。看到她為自己的成就感到自豪,讓我作為老師感到滿足。這也是我們的一次親密體驗,讓我們更加緊密地連結在一起。而且,看到她成功地獨立製作飯菜時感到非常有趣。
