“A sound health is the product of healthy cooking”.
As a part of life skill activity, Class 10 students were prompted to take up traditional cooking activity. The aim of this activity was to provide a platform for students to showcase their talents and explore new areas of interest.
On 16th August 2023, all the students of Class 10 reported to school by 6:30 am to take up traditional cooking. The most interesting challenge was that the cooking had to be done using firewood, which was a unique situation for them. Students prepared dishes such as rice, sambar, vegetable salad, fruit salad, pappad, payasam, and many more. They chanted prayers before the lunch, and served the food in an artistic and aesthetic way on plantain leaves, as the leaves are packed with vitamins and other nutrients.
In the afternoon session, a motivational talk and sapling planting activity was taken up. It was a wonderful experience for the children. This activity was an amalgamation of knowledge and entertainment that helped them to perceive the importance of traditional cooking. Students were dressed in colorful aprons and chef caps, adding beauty to the activity.
