The eggs we buy at the super market, like all the other vegetables. The mayonnaise is bought at a shop, near my grandmother’s house, because it is more tasty.

My name is Alan B. I am 10 years old and I chose to write about a special salad. This is my favorite dish. It is made of egg, tomato, lettuce, vinegar, balsamic vinegar and mayonnaise. The story of this salad is that my grandmother ate it every day when she was small, and then she gave it to my mother when she was small, and now my mother prepares it for my family, including me.

Place 1 Tablespoon of filling in the middle of the dough disks.

Hola, my name is Jacki and I selected THE EMPANADAS to talk about. The empanadas are typically Argentinean. My grandmother started making them here, and then my mother and I prepare them just as she did. When I go to my grandmother’s house she always makes empanadas and we remember this story. Now my grandmother taught me the recipe of the empanadas.. I like it with corn in it and done in the oven ( you can fry them too).

Put the cream cheese and the dulce de leche in a bowl and mix. Then in a mould you put a cup of “chocolinas” and some coffee. After that put some preparation ,and another cup of ”chocolinas”.

Hello my name is Zarina I am 10 years old. I decided to speak about “CHOCO CAKE” because when I was small in kindergarten my friends used to prepare this cake for birthdays. I remember when I tasted it I liked it very much. Until today I prepare it for every birthday and parties.

One day for my brother’s birthday I had the idea of surprising him with this cake. When he tasted it he said to me “It is delicious”.

The choco torta has this name because some special argentine chocolate cookies called Chocolinas are used to prepare it.

Mix the dulce de leche with the sour cream in a bowl. Wet the cookies in coffee or in cocoa or milk as preferred. Make a layer with the wet cookies and add the mix on top.

Repeat all these steps until you have lots of layers, which form a cake. Put in the fridge to cool.

Hello my name is Elena I am ten years old, I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina and I go to Tarbut School. I am going to talk about the choke cake because it represents my family: when I was small my mother and my father took me to my grandfather’s house and my grandmother taught me how to prepare the choke cake. Since then I have prepared it a lot of times. I love this cake and with my mother we prepare it all the time.

My name is Laura , I’m 10 years old. I will talk to you about sushi. The sushi is Japanese. My family and I eat a lot of sushi. I don’t know how to cook it neither do my mother or sister. I always eat sushi because we used to live in Miami and in Miami we always ate it.

Last year my father traveled to United States and he ate all types of sushi. When he came back he took us to a Japanese place in Acassuso (outskirts of Buenos Aires) and we ate a lot of sushi. Now that place is closed and a new one called Sushi Bar opened.

My grandma works in an organization called AIMA which helps people all around the world to get adapted to Argentina´s culture. There a lot of Japanese and Chinese women in AIMA. My grandma knows how to cook sushi but she never cooks it because the ingredients are imported from Japan.

The sushi is very important to me because it is a dish that I share with my sister and I like it very much. There a lot of types of sushi rolls, but these are the ones I like best: Umejiso - maki - negitoro-maki -- Utoro-maki -- Otoro-maki -- oshinko --

I like these sushi rolls because they have cream cheese and salmon with a bit of pepper.

Put the 4 cups of rice in the pan with boiling water, wait until the rice is cooked and then add salt. Add the tomato sauce. Place the pieces of meat inside the pan. Wait until everything is cooked.

Hello my name is Ginette, I am 11 years old, I am from Argentina and I am going to talk about rice with meat.

The origin of this dish is Poland because my granny made it there. She taught my mother and she taught me. I cook it every Friday, in Shabat. This plate is special for me because when I was little my mother cooked it, now I make it because I know how to prepare it. I associate it with Shabat. Every Friday when I go to my grandmother’s house I eat it. Many times when we don’t go to my granny’s house we cook it in my house and when we finish the kitchen is all dirty. My father likes it very much, and my mother too. I hardly ever make it but my mother does. I think that this plate is very complicated, but when I cook it its very interesting. Then I have to help my mother cleaning the kitchen. If my mother goes out we don’t cook it because it is very difficult. Sometimes we invite friends too.

To prepare it you have to grate the apples and form an apple pure. Then, you put the preparation in a bowl and you add the cream on top. The chocolate must be then added at the top layer.

AND THEN.......YOU EAT IT!

My name is Daiana. I am from Argentina. I am going to tell you about a dessert called Atfelmuz. This dessert is typical of Germany.

My name is Michelle I am from Argentina. I chose to talk about a dish called Maude. I know that this dish is very important to my family, because when my family lived in Damasco, many years ago they ate it. We eat this dish on every party, birthdays and Jewish parties. It is a big dish, with lots of things mixed in it; it’s made of potatoes, meet, chicken, rice, spaghetti, kibbes and matambre ( a special loin cut). I like it very much but I don’t like eating all the ingredients because there are some things that I don’t like. My grandmother is the one who cooks it, and she will teach me how to do it.

You put the carbon in the grill and you wait for at least 20 minutes until you see the grill is hot. Then you place the meat, vegetables etc, on it.

I’m Melanie D. I am 10 years old, I`m from Buenos Aires, Argentina and I would like to talk about barbecue. I chose this food because in my house, every Sunday my father and my grandfather prepare it and they prepare it very well. When any friends or anyone in the family come to my house they prepare it outside in the garden when the weather is nice.

This recipe is typical from Argentina and the majority of people here eat it.

We prepare it in a stout for a lot of hours and we have to put some sheets on the stout because if not the air leaves and the preparation isn’t very good.

My name is Nelly, I live in Buenos Aires. The name of the recipe I will describe is “Jamin.” It comes from Kurdistan. I chose this recipe because I like eating it very much. I eat it every Saturday with my family. My grandmother cooks it. The recipe comes from Kurdistan because my grandmother came from Kurdistan. She used to eat it when she was a small little girl. It is very difficult to do, and it takes approximate 3 hours to prepare. The food is basically rice with small pieces of meat, and a very special juice. You can prepare it with chicken too. We eat it with a lot of salads and pita, which is a kind of bread. Before we eat it, we have soup with meatballs, which I also like. This recipe is special to me because it is the food I most like eating and I eat it in Shabat, and we follow kosher procedures.

If you want you toast the bread, (any kind of bread).

Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and on the other spread the jelly.

Put the 2 bread slices together and form a sandwich!

Hello, my name is Gabriela. I’m 10 years old and I live in Argentina.

I choose the recipe of the peanut butter sandwich, because when I was little I used to live in Maryland, United States. I ate it almost every day for breakfast and for lunch. It reminds me of the time when I lived there and I ate it with my friends and my brother.

It’s sweet and sticky. When I moved, I couldn’t buy it in Argentina because it’s special from the culture of the States. Here you could eat it for tea or for breakfast but not for lunch. Now my father, when he goes to the United States, he brings two or three little jars of peanut butter because in Argentina you can’t get it. After eating it my brother and I have all our mouth filled with peanut butter. Also there’s a song of the sandwich for kids. I still like it but I eat it less than when I was little. I miss it.

The mate is prepared with yerba (which is the herb) and hot water; it is very simple but you must be careful that the yerba doesn’t become old, because its produces stomach aches. You can’t use boiled water either. It is very tasty and it can be drank bitter or sweet. I like having it sweet, that means that you add some sugar to the yerba. Mate is green and you drink it on a special cup called mate. It is like a ceremony, people who will drink get together and only one is in charge of pouring the hot water into the cup. You use a “bombilla” to absorb the water, and when you finished drinking it you pass it on to the one with the kettle. Then he passes it on to a new person, everyone takes turns, as only one mate is being served.

Hello, I am Marina, I am from Buenos Aires, I am 11 years old. I am going to tell you about a typical argentine drink called MATE. Mate is as tea-like beverage consumed mainly in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and southern Brazil. It is brewed from the dried leaves of the tree Ilex paraguarensis ("Yerba Mate"). The name "Mate" derives from the quichua word "matí" that names the “cup” that is traditionally used to drink the infusion.

When we go on vacations all my family drinks a lot of mate. The mate is a symbol of my family because when my mother was born, my grandmother started to drink mate, and the same happened with my mother, my aunt, etc. When my uncle comes to my house I drink mate with him.

Hi, my name is Melanie, I am from Argentina and I will tell you about the kipe.

My family is used to eating kipes because everyone eats it since they are small.

It’s a tradition in my family because when my grand grand grand mother was in Russia she cooked Gefilte fish in all the Jewish festivities .And when she had her daughter she taught her how to cook that dish.

Then my grand grand mother taught it to her daughter and the chain continued and so did the family tradition. Now I know how to do it because my mother taught it to me, although, this dish is very difficult to cook for my mother.

When I eat the Gefilte fish I remember my grand mother. She was a very important person in my life This is a kosher food because I am Jewish and I eat kosher. I don’t like fish but this is the only type of meal that I like with fish.

This plate is a classic of the Jewish kitchen, it was born of the extreme poverty. In central Europe, the women went to the markets at the closing buying the left overs of the fish, which was at its lowest cost or it was simply given to them.

Soak the matza pieces in water or milk, then soak them in beaten eggs. Heat some oil in a sauce pan and fry the preparation stirring. Once this preparation is done, serve in a plate and add some salt or sugar. If you love sweet thing, I recommend you to try them with lots of sugar.

I always remember the beach and the vacations when I eat them. I also have them every Sunday. My mother taught me to prepare this, and my grand mother taught it to my mother, and I want to teach it to my children. I always prepare them with tomato, white bread and milanesa ( shnitzel).

Sandwiches come from England because......in England there once was a lord named Lord Sandwich. Every day he had breakfast at 8:00 a.m., lunch at 1:00p.m. and then he played cards in the club with his friends. Then at 5:00 p.m. he drank tea and, at 8:30 he had dinner with his family an went to bed at 10:00 p.m. . On the day of his best friend’s birthday, lord Anthony, he went to his house for dinner and he stayed until 3:00 a.m. They were playing cards till late, and he was hungry and did not want to interrupt the game, so he asked for pieces of bread and one slice of meat. The waiter looked at the Lord with great surprise as he ate using the hands because he had to play cards. His friends liked this meal and asked the waiter to give them the same. They named this new dish after their friend Lord Sandwich.

You have to first place the disks of dough on the table and fill each with some pre cooked minced meat, onions and some salt and pepper. You form the empanada by folding the dough in half and pressing the edges together, forming a semi circle. You can choose a variety of fillings ( cheese, corn etc.) but I like it with minced meat. You can use the beaten eggs to brush the top of the empanadas before you place them and bake them in the hot oven. You will realise they are ready when they are browned on bottom and top. You can also fry them.

I am going to tell you about the empanadas. My name is Shirly and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I chose the empanadas (pies) because I have a story to tell you. In my house there is a table that doesn’t have legs because it is stuck to the wall. With my brother we usually go under the table. Once my brother was holding a hot empanada and it fell to on top of my hand and burnt me. I still have the mark on my hand. Every time I see it I laugh and remember this story, which I would not like it to happen again!!

This dish is originally from Italy. In Argentina every 29th. some people eat potato gnochis and the folk tale says that you should place some money under the plate, as this money will multiply after finishing the dish!

I chose it because it is the recipe that lets me remember all 4 generations in my family: my great-grandmother, my grandmother, my mother and I. Because my great-grandmother taught it to my grandmother, my grandmother taught it to my mother and my mother taught it to me.

My great-grandmother does the marmolada cake when it is someone’s birthday and she always takes the cake cut in squared pieces, all of the same size in a nice tray with a paper tablecloth on it.

Hello!!

My name is Martina M. and when my computers teacher said we had to choose a dish to work on, I thought about the brownies. I thought about this delicious cookie because when I was 7 years old, I went to a restaurant and saw the brownies, tried them, and I then asked the waiter to give me the recipe. This dish is ate a lot in Argentina. I eat brownies a lot and I recommend them to you, because they are simply delicious!!

Hello, my name is Nicole and I will tell you about my favourite food which is the kneidalaj soup. It is special because my grand mother does it for the Jewish celebrations. During all my life, during the Jewish celebrations I have gone to her house to eat the soup and to help her prepare it.

I like eating it and my grandmother told me the recipe to do it in my house and when I’m ill my mother prepares this soup for me.

The recipe is very easy to do. I recommend you to do it...the kneidalaj soup is very delicious.

1. Warm up the loaves of bread

2. Cut the tomato in slices

I’m Jesica N. I’m ten years old and I live in Buenos Aires. I selected sandwiches because I like them very much, because on weekends my father prepares them home-made and sometimes I help him. This is a tradition of my family: my grand grand father did them and my grand father helped him and teached to my father and I am going to teach it to my sons or daughters. I always wait for weekends to eat my father’s sandwiches. In general they have cheese, tomato, lettuce and bread.

I found a legend about them: once upon a time, in England there was a lord called Lord Sandwich. He was playing cards with other lords and ladies, and suddenly he looked at his watch: 12:00 time for lunch; he was hungry but he couldn’t stop the game. He said to the waiter: “bring to me two loaves of bread with meat in the middle”. They all got surprised about this: eating meat between two loaves of bread and without fork or knife! The waiter brought his invented meal and he continued playing cards and eating; all at the same time. A friend of the Lord Sandwich liked his idea and ordered exactly the same plate. And like this, this quickly type of food was invented. You can eat it with cheese, tomato, lettuce, milanesa or meat.

Break the egg in a bowl. Wash the potatoes and boil them. Once they are cooked smash the potatoes making a puree. Make small balls with the puree, wet them in the egg and then get the bread crumbs stick to the potato balls. Do this several times. It’s very nice.

Fry them in hot oil for approximately one minute, and enjoy them lots!!

To make this pudding it is necessary to take as measurement the pot in which the cream comes.

Put the three eggs in the mixer with the cream and the vanilla, mix them slowly, add the flour to the preparation (like raindrops), continue mixing and finally add the milk. Overturn all in the moulds and put them in the oven, (which should be already warm) and bake for forty minutes, in moderated oven.

You can have it cold or hot. If you want you can add some jam on it.

Hello, my name, is Julieta, I am 10 years old. I am going to talk about Vanilla Pudding. We believe that this pudding comes from Poland, because my great-grandmother made it. In Poland my great-grandmother had a bakery, we believe that this pudding was sold very much because it is delicious and easy to prepare. At that time the electric mixer or blender did not exist, but they mixed everything using hands. The ingredients are very economic or cheap.

My grandmother also makes it when I go to her house because she knows that I like it very much. In my house my mom prepares it for birthdays or special occasions. When I eat it, I remember my grandmother and my great-grandmother. I couldn’t meet her, but this recipe makes me think that she was so sweet as this pudding is, and as sweet as my grandmother is.

Mix the mashed potatoes, the fried onions and the pepper, and wrap this filling in pieces of dough. Place the newly done knishes in the oven or in the microwave until the colour changes to red.

Hello, my name is Karen R., and I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I would like to talk about the knishe. All my family eats it, and my great aunt always prepares it for every party and sometimes she prepares to eat it on Sundays, I like very much eating it and I eat a lot of it. Knishe is basically done with potatoes, in ancient times potatoe was a cheap and nutritious food. That is why people try to develop different ways of serving potatoes. The world knish comes from the yidish language and knishes are a very typical Jewish dish and as I am Jewish I am very used to having them.

Dip the slices of meat into a mixture of egg (already beaten), to which you have also added salt and pepper. Then, roll meat in breadcrumbs. They should stick to the meat... this is good! Fry it in hot oil.

Hello, my name is Brian C. I am 11 years old and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am happy to tell you about ‘Milanesas’. This recipe comes from my home; my mother makes milanesas a lot and they are very tasty. That’s why this recipe is so special to me. I have a ‘Milanesas’ story to tell you: one day they got burnt and we had to eat them like that! It wasn’t so nice because the meat was very hard. As I am Jewish and I follow traditions, I have kosher meat. My grandmother cooks milanesas too.

Did you know that Pizza originated in Egypt, Greece and Rome, and is three thousand years old? The ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean Sea had many examples of dishes that resembled pizza in their ingredients, composition and cooking. In ancient Egypt, for example, the custom was to celebrate the birthday of the Pharaoh by eating a flat bun seasoned with herbs. At the same time, various greek authors have written about different kinds of "pizza", like the so-called "maza" . Naples, however, is considered the starting (and then worldwide distribution) point of pizza!

Resource: http://www.italiancook.ca/pizza.htm

The name of the recipe that I chose is Pizza. I chose Pizza because I eat it every Sunday. We eat pizza because when we return home, after the club, my mother doesn’t want to cook so she phones "Pizza Homero" or "Crazy Pizza" becaise they are fast and cheap. Pizza originally came from Italy. One day my father put Pizza on the barbecue grill. Then, when I ate it, I realized that I liked the dough done like that, when the dough is very thin. I eat Pizza at the table, sitting on a chair with my knee up. I like to eat pizza because I like cheese and Pizza usually has a lot of cheese.

Dissolve yeast in warm water, add the sugar and let the mixture rise a little. Stir in the sour cream, eggs, oil and salt. Add the flour, no more than 1/2 cup at a time, mixing it well. Knead the mixture and then roll it out on a well-oiled pan — it has to be 1cm thick. The pan must have high edges, because the pizza will be 5-6 cm high.

Filling: Get a pizza bread and add cheese, tomato, olives. Put it in the oven for 15 or 20 minutes.

Hello! My name is Nicolas E. I’m 10 years old and I’m from Argentina. I chose the recipe of Pizza, which comes from Italy. I chose Pizza because every time I eat it, I remember when I won a tennis match. It was the final match in the tournament. This was an inter-club championship last year, when I was 9 years old. My team was the champion and I was happy. To celebrate, I sang a song about Pizza. It goes like this: "I am going to eat pizza!" In my family we eat Pizza either on Sundays or Saturdays. Sometimes I eat it at my grandmothers house and sometimes alone with my father, because my mother and sister go to hockey and then I am so hungry that I can't wait for them. Sometimes we buy Pizza - the one I like is called "Cibarita".

My name is Matías and I’m going to talk about the history of a dish called "The beans of the fertility". A friend of my grandmother, whose family has a Sefaradi background and came form Egypt, passed this tradition onto my family. We believe that by eating these beans we will gain physical, emotional and spiritual strength. One day my grandmother prepared these fertility beans for the first time, on Rosh Hashanah, for her sons. They liked it, so my grandmother continued making them. It got passed from one generation to the next. I was the second child to be born into the second generation, and I liked the beans of fertility too. Some years later the second generation in our family had 6 kids, all sitting around the table! Then my father joked and said, "…no more beans, please!"

Prepare mashed potatoes and mix half of the potatoes with half of the flour. Knead the mixture well. Add the 2 eggyolks, the salt and the grated cheese. Knead carefully, adding the rest of the flour until you see dough forming. Using your hands, create small balls (about 2-3 cm in diameter) and boil them in water, with salt. When you see they start floating in the water, remove them and placethe balls on a dish, making layers of gnocchi’s followed by layers of tomato sauce and cheese. Serve hot!

My name is Nicolas, I’m from Argentina and I live in Buenos Aires. My house is in San Fernando, in Victoria, and I am 10 years old. I chose the gnocchis because when I moved to my new house it was the gnocchis day and I like them very much. The 29th of every month is gnocchi’s’ day. My favorite restaurant is Grants; I always eat gnocchi’s there. At the club, I sometimes eat gnocchi’s too. I like potato gnocchi’s best.

Prepare the grill with charcoal. Light it. Wait for 20 minutes. Then put the meat on the grill. You have to add salt, pepper and other condiments to the meat. After you take the meat off the grill, you can serve it on plates, or as part of sandwiches.

Hello, my name is Pablo, I am 10 years old and I’m from Argentina. I chose to describe a barbecue, which is typical of Argentina. We call it ‘asado’. I eat asado every Saturday. The recipe is special to me because it is very typical in Argentina and when we eat it our family gets together. Sometimes we invite some friends. Argentina produces asado and then sells it to the entire world. I help to put carbon in the charcoal. You can eat it with sausage and with bread. I like asado; I eat it every weekend!

Hello! My name is Brian L. I am from Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina, and I am going to tell you about the history of meat, in an oven, in my family. Meat in an oven is from Argentina (the country produces lots of meat) and it is significant to me because we eat it every Sunday, together as a family. This recipe is special to me because the meat is delicious. Every time we have this dish my grandfather is there.

Heat the grill with charcoal or wood, and place the meat cuts on it until it is cooked.

My name is Matías. I’m going to tell you about the barbecue. When my father makes barbecue I know that family or friends are coming to eat at our house. In my house we often have barbecues on Sundays. On Saturdays, we go with my father to buy some charcoal and wood. I enjoy this very much. When my father makes ‘asados’ or barbecues, it reminds me of my family, especially my grandfather, Gedalia, who died. He was the one who taught me how to make ‘asados;. I often go to see car races, and we usually have asados there too. I like to have pork sausage, cheese, meat, and pork tenderloin. The barbecue is a typical dish of Argentina and it’s common in many restaurants to ask for it. I like it when my father puts some pork tenderloin on the table; then my sister and I both rush to see gets it first!

I am Martin M., I’m 10 years old and I chose schnitzel (or ‘milanesas’ as we call them in Argentina) with french fries because it is my favorite meal by far! I eat it every Monday night. When my father eats milanesas he always says, "It is wonderful!" and my mother says, " It is fantastic!" As you can see, we are all very happy whenever we have milanesas for dinner. I first ate this meal when I was about 2 years old and it soon became my favorite dish. When I first tasted ‘milanesas’ I surprised to discover that they were really excellent. Now I like adding some ketchup to both the schnitzel and the french fries. During Passover festivities my mother usually uses matzo flour, instead of breadcrumbs, as we cannot eat flour during this time of the year. This is a special step in the preparation of "milanesas’ which is also unique to my Jewish culture.

Remove the fat from the meat. Salt them of both sides. Place them in a deep plate with a little bit of flour: place the breadcrumbs in another deep plate. In a third bowl beat and salt the eggs, and add some milk. Mince the garlic and the parsley and add them to eggs, plus the oregano. Soak the meat in this egg preparation and then cover with the flour in the deep plate. Repeat these last steps twice. Place a little oil in a frying pan and when it is hot, to fry the breaded meat. Once the milanesa is fried, let it drip on white absorbing paper.

Warm up the tomato sauce, and then place over the milanesas which will now go into the oven with some cheese on top. When the cheese is melted, your dish is done!

First cut the potatoes in slices and cook in the oven for about 30 minutes. Add the cream and the cheese on top of the potatoes and allow it to cook, until you see the potatoes are brownish. Serve the mildness together with the potatoes, and enjoy it as much as I enjoy it with my family!!

Hello, my name is Ariel; I am nine years old I chose this recipe of Dulce de leche. I’m from Argentina and I like to eat the food from my country. This recipe comes from Argentina because here there are many dairy cows and the dulce de leche (milk jam) is based on milk.

When my mother makes a cake with dulce de leche, I usually get a spoon and dip it into the dulce de leche and eat it from the jar. We use Dulce de leche for cakes, cookies; we eat it simply with a spoon and with the toasts for breakfast and teatime. One day I was eating dulce de leche from the jar and all the dulce the leche fell on me.

"Dulce de leche is the Latin American Nutella," some people say, adding, "caramelized milk" or "milk jam." Dulce de leche is a very sweet spread. Like nice and thick butterscotch sauce."While it provides a sweeter alternative to jelly, jam, and peanut butter, dulce de leche also makes a tasty dessert filling, especially for alfajores, Argentina's distinctive powdered-sugar cookies.

Created by accident, dulce de leche traces its history back to 1829 in Cañuelas, a province of Buenos Aires. Tradition holds that a servant left a pot of milk and sugar boiling on the stove for too long, resulting in a soft paste that soon began to tempt palates across the country as an accompaniment to pastries.

My name is Sebastián I am ten (10) years old. I am from Argentina, I live in a flat. One of my favorite dishes is pasta (spaghetti) with butter and parmegean cheese. The origin of the spaghetti is from China and the historians tell that the Chinese navigators carried them to Italy. This dish is important for me because I usually ate spaghetti when I was a baby at my grandparents´ house and it was easy to eat when I didn’t have teeth. Sometimes my grandmother Linda or my mom sang a song ("un tallarin") when I ate spaghetti, and I remember it now!!

Milanesa with mashed potatoes, is cooked by using these ingredients:

Meat, Bread crumbs Eggs, potatoes. First, you put the potatoes to boil. After that, you leave the potatoes resting and you start working with the meat. You have to buy meat cut in very thin slices. You must soak these slices with the beaten eggs. You leave each slice for two minutes and then you use another bowl to put the bread crumbs on it. At this point you have to take the potatoes out. You leave them to cool for ten minutes. During those ten minutes, you have to soak the meat again in the eggs (one by one) and then put some bread crumbs which will get stuck on the meat. Deep fry each slice of meat or use the oven. Then you will have to press the potatoes until you get mashed potatoes, adding some milk or butter to soften the puree.

Hi, my name is Flor S, I’m 11 years old. I live in Argentina. I am going to talk about the barbecue; in Argentina we call it the "asado". The origin of the recipe is from Argentina. Every Thursday night we eat barbecue and this is special to my family. I have eaten it since I was 2 years old, when we had it on Saturdays. The memories I associate it with, is that when my father does the barbecue I help him, so it is a good memory, because when I eat it I remember I had helped him. For some of my birthdays we prepare barbecue and all my family members come to my house. When I go to my grandfather’s house I eat barbecue with my cousins and my uncles too.

We all like to eat barbecue, and we also like to prepare it. The different step on the preparation from a typical asado is that I eat kosher food, and it is related with my religion, which is Jewish. In Argentina we eat a lot of meat because there are lot of cows and we breed them.

Knead the wheat with water. Mould them into little balls, and make them as open ovals, so you can put little balls of minced meat inside them. Close the oval, and put into the oven. When you finish cooking the kibbe, you have to put some tomato sauce and cumin on it.

Hello, I´m Deborah T. I am 11 years old, I live in Argentina, Cap. Fed. I am going to talk about Kibbe. Kibbe´s origin is Arabian, but Jewish people eat it a lot. I belong to the Jewish community in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It’s a typical Jewish custom to eat kibbe. I only eat kosher food. Kosher preparation separates milk from meat .A different group of dishes is used for meat and for milk. Kosher food has to be supervised by a Rabbi, if not it’s not totally kosher. The animals have to be killed in a special way. The person who kills the animals is called "Shojet". When I am with all my family I always eat Kibbe because we all like it, and my grand mother cooks it. I don’t have any memories associated to it, and I don’t know any tale about it because there aren’t many persons who know this dish.

1. Stretch out the roll, 2. Put the cream inside, 3. Distribute the sliced strawberries along the role, on top of the cream, 4. Roll the roll, 5. Put it in the fridge for 30 minutes or more, serve cut in slices. It is delicious!!!

My name is Carolina V. I am 10 years old and when Miss Veronica told me about this project. I decided to choose this recipe, which I called "strawberry and cream roll". When I was 8 years old I went to a bar or bakery and I bought this roll. I used to do this often. Last year this bakery shop stopped making this roll, so sometimes I have to cook this roll by myself. I must be sincere and say that the one I had at the bakery was more delicious! Not all my family like this roll because my sisters don’t like cream so much. This recipe is very special for me because it is delicious and I like to cook it. It is very easy to prepare, all the ingredients can be found in supermarket.
