Our Cookery Book

My basic level students learnt a lot about recipes in class last week. We worked with vocabulary, useful expressions and different kinds of food. It was time to put that into practice!!
So, I asked them to write a recipe of a typical Spanish dish using the document provided. They did a great job!! When they finished it, they sent it to me by e-mail or posted it on the blog.
I have finally collected all of them and here is the result. Hope you enjoy it!! You can leave your comments below!!
My dear students.... I´m really proud of your work!!
And just in case you need some more recipes on typical British dishes, here is one: Scrambled eggs Hope you enjoy the activity!!
