After learning about rationing in our WW2 topic, we researched some WW2 recipes and created a meal fit for a king or queen. An adult worked with the first group, then those children supported the next group giving instructions and top tips.
First, we read the recipes carefully. We made potato and leek soup,
carrot and apple soup (also using apples from the garden)
Wand for something sweet, we made Grannie’s Orange Drop Cookies.
Then we evaluated our cooking skills, noting measuring in grams and litres, peeling, chopping, grating, pouring, mixing, simmering, boiling but most importantly – incredible teamwork.
We also evaluated our product. Most children decided the soup needed more seasoning but most loved it and asked for seconds. The biscuits were very sweet because we used honey instead of sugar but the main issue was that they stuck to the grease proof so next time we would use a silicone sheet.
