I think it was nice that we travelled to Daniella, Skibhusskolen TTyrkey. Alle the people were very kind and friendly. I like all the things we did. We thank all the EU-people.” SusanneS Scholtysik, 15 years, Michael-Ende-Schule Essen Essential The Essen Essential project was the result of a Comenius Contact Seminar hold in Kinsale, Ireland in November, 2006. A group of interested and enthusias- tic teachers from Denmark, England, Germany and Turkey decided to work together with a small group of pupils in their schools to create an international Recipe book. An important integral part of the work with students was to fi nd suitable recipes that were traditional in the local area as well as to look at the healthiness of the recipes. Essen Essential has without a doubt been extremely successful and enriching experience for all these involved. These that participated, pupils and teach- ers, were asked to broaden their knowledge and experience of other European Union countries by visiting each other countries and lasting friendships have been established. This recipe book is the result of all their hard work. Fiona Conley Project Manager ”When I arrived in England, I felt very excited and only wanted to meet my penfriend, Emily. She spoke to me as if one of her friends. Her teachers Mrs Fiona Conley and Elain Storey were very kind and lovely people. I liked them very much. And Hugo, from Cologne is very special person for me. I hope one day I have a chance to visit Hugo and his wife again. I really enjoyed participating in this project; I have an excellent memory of those days.” Dilara Sonmez, Age 12, Kurtulus Ilkőğretim Okulu 2 Glossary Index Soup 37-39 - Asparagus Soup 11 - Consomme´ 5 - Courgette Cream Soup 11 - Lentil and Barley Soup 28 - Northumbrian Broth 28 - Northumbrian Lentil Soup 23 - Potato Soup (Danish) 6 - Potato Soup (British) 23 - Potato Soup (German) 16 - Red Lentil and Mint Soup (Ezo Gelin Corbasi) 33 - Tomato Soup 16 Bread - Yoghurt Soup (Yayla Corbasi) 33 - Apple Puree–Cinnamon–Bread 12 - Farmers Bread (Danish) 6 - Farmers Bread (German) 12 - Hot Cross Buns 24 - Raisin Bread (Milchstuten mit Rosinen) 17 - Rye Bread from Denmark 7 - Rye Bread (Roggenmischbrot) 17 - Singing Hinnies (Girdle Scones) 25 - Stottie 29 - Teacakes 29 - Turkish Bazlama 35 Fruit & Vegetables - Turkish Ramadan Pide (Ramazan Pidesi) 34 - Apple with Bacon 8 - Canal Floddies 30 - Eggplant with Veggie Filling (Imam Bayildi) 36 - Fruit Chips 13 - Onion Cake (Pfälzer Zwiebelkuchen) 18 - Pan Haggerty 30 - Pointed Cabbage Pan 13 - Potato Fritters with Apple Sauce (Großmutters Reibekuchen mit Apfelmus) 18 - Rhubarb Crumble 24 - Root Vegetable Casserole with Dumplings 25 - Spinach with Rice (Pirincli Ispanak) 35 - Summerbowl 8 Sweets & Desserts - Apple Cake (as grandmother would have made it) 9 - Baked Fruit 31 - Bergische Waffl es 14 - Caramelized Apples 19 - Jam Roly Poly 31 - Mousse au Chocolat with Vanilla Sauce 19 - Raisin Compote (Uzum Hosafi ) 36 - Roast Apples 14 - Stewed Fruit (Red Berry Porridge) with Cream 9 - Sweet Butternut Squash (Kabak Tatlisi) 37 - Toffee Apples 26 - Treacle Tart 26 Glossary 37 3 Acknowledgements for Essen Essential Korsløkke Ungdomsskole, Skibhusskolen - Odense, Denmark Staff involved Pupils involved Christina Harbo Knudsen Daniella Erika Rasmussen Casper von Staffeldt Beck Per Lindegaard Christensen Jacob Thirup Nielsen Nicolai Thomhau Sven Erik Schmidt Nicolai Krarup Nielsen Mickey Christensen Jakob-Moreno-Schule - Gummersbach, Germany Staff involved Pupils involved Hugo Krakau Jennifer Heitmann Lena Hoffstadt Sylvia Wagner Jessika Foth Volkan Kir Burcu Kaymak Maria Morich Michael-Ende-Schule - Hamm, Germany Staff involved Pupils involved Martina Sommer-Muhle Huriye Yavuz Florian Apel Christiane Wischnath Burak-Naci Uzun Kevin Schmidt Birgit Moritz Susanne Scholtysik Jürgen Wruck Cagla Yüksel StaffSabine involved Grothaus St Joseph’s RC MiddleBüsra School Teymen Michel Lohöfener Emine Uygun FionaBritta ConleyQuick Aileen Bacler Elaine storeyy Kate Seddonddodon Sue Fawdrywdw drryy East Hartford School - Cramlington, England Jane Armstrong Staff involved Pupils involved Alan Hodgson Hugh Steele Hannah Cranson Joan Mitchell Lucy Nicholson Helen Shaw Thomas Urwin PupilsJill McCartney involved from St Joseph’s RCRhys Middle Neal School Owen Burgess Carl Clark St Joseph’s RC Middle School - Hexham, England Callum Snowball JohnnyStaff involved Charlton Pupils involved RebeccaFiona Conley Maple Owen Burgess Rebecca Maple Elaine storey Carl Clark Emily Fitzsimmons Emily Fitzsimmons Kate Seddon Callum Snowball Sue Fawdry Johnny Charlton Jane Armstrong StAlan Joseph’s Hodgson RC Middle School St. Joseph’sph s isis a voluntary aided Roman Catholic middle school for children between the ages ofof 9 yearsyey and 13 years.

We are grounded at an old farm on the outskirts of Odense. We like to work with our hands and are very practical. We have 2 workshops, one where we repair outdoor equipments, such as canoes, kayaks and bicycles. There we also do some metal- and woodwork and many others things. In the other workshop we do the cooking. Every day we cook the lunch for all the pupils and the teachers working at the school, about 25 people. One of the special things about our school is, that all pupils at summertime, have to go to school by bike.
