Each semester, the options of colorful CCA collaborative courses always make it difficult for us to choose, such as small languages, sports, and debating societies… This September, our school’s new cooking classroom opened. The warm colors and the comfortable work table made me determined to try to be a cooking expert.
In fact, I tried using some cooking skills at home before, but I always felt confused and did not know how to use all of the tools correctly. After cooking, the kitchen was just like a “war”. The food was not so good either. This time, the school invited a professional chef to instruct us in cooking. I was full of anticipation!
Looking back on the cooking class of this whole semester, we cooked egg pancakes, homemade shrimp pancakes, delicious small wontons… but, the one that impressed me the most was the cream cupcake. As a sweet tooth, how could you live without cream?
I remember that class, as soon as I entered the classroom, I smelled the cake. It turned out that the teacher had baked the cake in advance, and we were responsible for the beautiful cream on the cake. Each group was given a decorating bag, and we took the cream out of the blender, and the teacher filled the bag. The teacher came to each group and showed us how to put the cream on the cake and how to make it look nice. Next, it was time for us to use our imagination! We squeezed the cream into all kinds of shapes, like towers, small animals, and flowers… However, after completion, we felt like something was missing. Then teacher brought some powdered sugar, biscuit crumbs, chocolate powder for us to sprinkle on the cake. Our group chose chocolate powder, but accidentally sprinkled on too much, but the taste was still surprisingly good, who can refuse rich chocolate?
Cooking not only gives me a new skill, but also makes me feel proud and happy to share my homemade food with my friends. Winter vacation is coming soon, I really want to display my cooking skills in the kitchen at home, and let mom and dad also taste!
