Day 1:
We started the day by heading out to Sooke for a day of cooking outdoors. We learned lots about the health benefits of many different plants and how you can incorporate them in your cooking. Later, after gathering the plants and other supplies needed for lunch, we started combining the items we had, and made a delicious meal with salmon, turnip pasta, a side of lemon rice and a seaweed stir-fry topped with the groups personal favourite the green goddess sauce.
Day 2:
We were at the school for day 2. We got together and headed down to the grocery store where we were given a list of things to find in smaller groups. After gathering all the ingredients, we headed back to the school to start cooking. Today we made homemade tacos with salsa and chips. This required half the group to make the dough for the tortillas while the other half was cooking the shrimp and chicken for the filling. It was super cool getting to learn how to use the taco press specially to see whose taco turned out the best. This lunch was amazing, and we were all super stuffed. After that we planned our menus for our next experiential day and we are looking forward to it!
