Food Education
Since I liked small experiment in the kitchen. I especially liked prepare cakes, pastries and easy things you could then invite my family with pride. My parents always left the kitchen, ingredients and recipes to use freely. College in Sweden, all children had a compulsory cooking and besides its fun, I think it’s important to know at least the basics of food and how to prepare.
Food education is not only to achieve the nutritional balance, as in the act of eating coexisting social and cultural aspects must not be forgotten. Learning from our diet is made up of experiences that are not related solely to the nutritional value. This learning is now becoming less common and is lost “source information” on how to choose food, know how to handle or prepare a learning procesoimportante facilitates increased involvement of children (and adults) and a greater autonomy in managing our own food. The activities are to be designed for specific cooking classes depending on the age of students. When cooking themselves, with simple recipes of dishes, most common in Spain, enter the knowledge of food: its origin, seasonality, nutritional value, cooking techniques most appropriate combinations of foods to make healthy and tasty menu and so on. The work of preparing the food, shows something of the history of food in the recipe, says the group of foods on the plate, the nutritional characteristics of a plate of food. Although the first and most important learning takes place in the family, since the work started at school can be interesting and entertaining proposals to interact with the family.
