Week of Tastes in S2S!

In S2S we have been learning about the five basic tastes of food as part of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen and Garden program. The five tastes are sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami. During our weekly kitchen lessons we have been cooking a variety of tasty food. Last week we cooked samosas filled with vegetables grown in the school garden.

S2S also participated in the Week of Tastes which included a guessing activity where we were blindfolded and tasted different unknown foods. We were even lucky enough to learn from a professional chef who shared his secrets to making the best brownies. We decorated the brownies with chocolate frosting, Oreo pieces and dried raspberry. Yum!
