On Wednesday 12 November our Year 9 Introduction to Arabic students undertook an Arabic cooking activity. The 13 students prepared tabouleh, hummus and flat bread. These lunch and dinner dishes are common to Arabic speaking countries from Morocco in the west to Iraq in the east. The hands-on session prepares students for the excursion to the Islamic Museum of Australia and the A1 Bakery Restaurant in Week 7, as well as complementing language studies by exploring culinary traditions of the Arab world.

Students worked collaboratively to prepare the dishes, each of the three groups preparing a separate dish. Once cooked, students sat together to enjoy tasting and sharing their creations.

A big شكراً to the Languages Department for organising this enriching experience, and to the Food Technology people for supporting the activity.

صحتين وهنا!!!!!
