Foundation.
This project aims to introduce young people to the area of skills in
daily life, in this case, the kitchen.
It is important to note the academic nature with which this is developed.
considering that the theme of a cooking workshop enhances the
interdisciplinarity, allowing the transfer of curricular contents to practice
almost all subjects.
Cooking is an attractive and fun activity for young people that is offered to us.
as a valuable educational resource. It is a way to promote inclusion.
of habits and knowledge about nutrition, health, food and the
way of preparing food.
The project has been designed as a family informational work that aims to
promote dialogue, participation, and mutual aid.

Scheduling.
The project consists of two parts, one of theoretical development (preparation of
recipe book) that will take place once a week and a practical part that will be held
preferably in the following module according to the established schedule for
each group.
Human and material resources.
Humans:
Teacher.
Third grade students.
Materials:
Kitchen utensils.
Various ingredients for the different recipes that will be prepared.
Location
This project has been designed to be worked on in the kitchen facilities in your
practical part and in the classrooms in its theoretical part.
Methodology.
I will follow a completely participatory and active methodology with the obtaining of a
final product.
The recipes made will be suggested by the students based on their interests.
and others based on their nutritional value.
After analyzing the tasks required by each recipe, they will be distributed among the
students according to different roles, so that everyone can participate
actively (mixing ingredients, washing and peeling fruits and vegetables, adding
ingredients, cut and mash soft foods, fill and measure -with cups,
spoons, measuring tools, handling of devices, etc.). All these tasks will be
supervised by the teacher in charge of the project.
Regarding the theoretical part of the workshop, the preparation of the recipe book will be carried out.
starting from the interests of the students regarding what they want to do in
the following practical meeting; additionally, recipes will be worked on in the recipe book
different cultures, regions, seasons, tastes, etc.
Also, in the theoretical part of the project, we will work with related content.
on health care and nutrition.
Activities
The central activity will be the complete development of processes.
production of simply processed foods.
General preliminary activities
Preparation of the recipe book: Inquire about the prior knowledge of the children in
Regarding the topics to be discussed: ingredients, the preparation procedures
and handling of the basic material to be used.
Selection of recipes to add to the recipe book.
Exercise of hygiene rules before cooking.
Knowledge of the specific techniques to approach culinary tasks
more everyday (cutting, beating, kneading, etc.)
Take as a reference the orientation of the hours in the preparations.
Subsequent general activities
Organize all the material used: cleaning and storing everything
elements used
Evaluation
It will be evaluated through:
Control tables with proposed objectives, prepared by the teacher.
The direct observation, during the development of the project, the level of
participation of each student.
