Healthy and tasty food




In November 2013 the pupils from Szkoła Podstawowa nr 2 w Leżajsku (Leżajsk Primary School No. 2) worked out three recipes for dishes typical of the traditional Polish cuisine, which they found both healthy and tasty, and sent them in English versions to the partner schools to be tried out.

In January 2014, on the other hand, the Leżajsk school community tried out some recipes received from other countries. Three dishes were made on the basis of the directions from France, and one having followed a recipe from Greece. The “public tasting” of the food was held during the school carnival ball (a special Comenius event destined for children, parents and teachers made up part of it). 

While carrying out the task the pupils got to know some aspects of different nations’ culinary traditions, adopted proper nourishing habits, as well as improved their language and ICT abilities.
