A couple of days ago Kaitlin sent me a fancy 59-page recipe book with this cover:

When we moved we found Torben’s mimeographed version of his class collection of recipes. It was stapled lovingly with a orange construction paper cover. This is today’s version…
I’m sure the kids were proud of the book they and their families produced, but it’s the idea of Torben’s that warms my heart.
If you click this link, you can see videos of some of the kids cooking from their recipes.

I am not home but want to.remember to click.the link. That picture looks sontadty.
sontadty?
I’ll be interested in that “word” as well Rose
I half-pie looked at the short videos, looks like it’s an easy recipe book to follow along with…
I didn’t watch much of the videos, I was just impressed at the technology available to them now.
Yes, then and now, are very different. In so many things/places.
Yes, in the old days we couldn’t connect through blogging.
Kids these days are doing such high quality print and media material it’s mind boggling.
They do have access to a lot of technology.
What an unexpected treasure!
Yes. 🙂
This is so special. And personally, Italian is my favorite ethnic cooking…and most are simple, easy recipes.
They had to be simple enough for the 11-year-olds to cook. It was a great idea.
That is fancy. I remember the ones my kids did in school. They were the construction paper cover kind.
Call me crazy but what I noticed in the videos was the kitchens these kids were cooking in. They all put mine to shame.
My kitchen too!
this is wonderful. I enjoyed their reactions!
🙂
I can’t tell you how many times I have said to Bob that I wish I had been a child during this era there’s a lot of bad things in this area like being kidnapped and all the bad stuff that goes on but I would love to have grown up with the technology that we have now. I think I would have done better in school with what they have available now
I liked school when I was a kid, but I love the internet and technology I have now even more. I’m sure I appreciate it because I didn’t have it earlier. I wonder what these kids will face in the future. Fingers crossed for them.
You had me at mimeographed! (*grin*) How I loved that peculiar aroma.
It’s not a compilation of recipes, but I’ve still got one of those ‘books’ stapled with a construction paper cover.
I didn’t save any, but I remember writing reports and creating the covers for them. I still like simple and homemade better than something fancy someone else has made.
