Sunny Kitchen Weekend Cooking Class
Learn to cook something special for your family in just one morning!
Each class costs NT$300, and we give you all the food you need, so you can take home whatever you make. Please bring a pen and a notebook, because Martin, our teacher from France, speaks very fast when he gets excited. Children under 12 must come with a parent who stays for the whole class.
Our kitchen is so small that only ten people can join each class, so please call 04-2233-6688 before Friday.
Hi Amy,
Thank you for the tea that you gave me last week. My mother and I drank it on Sunday afternoon with some toast, and she said it was the best tea she has ever had.
On Saturday my father had a big barbecue in our yard. My uncle, who has just come back from America, brought a bottle of wine for the adults, while we children had soft drinks. We wanted to ask you to come, but your phone was off all day, so I am sorry that you missed it.
Can you come to my house this Friday after school? My mother will bake a chocolate cake, and my uncle, who has heard about you, wants to meet you before he goes back. Please write back.
See you,
Nina
People eat very different things in the morning. In Taiwan, many people buy a rice ball and a cup of warm milk on the way to work or school, because they are too busy to cook at home. In America, some families eat eggs and toast together, while many adults cannot start the day without coffee.
In France, a cup of coffee and a piece of bread are enough for many people. In Japan, rice, fish, and soup are still common, but more young people now choose bread because it takes less time.
Although the food is different, one thing is the same everywhere. Doctors say that people who eat breakfast can think better at school and at work. So whatever you like, do not leave home with an empty stomach.
