  • My European Recipe Book
    My European Recipe Book Recipes collected by students and teachers during the COMENIUS-Project “Common Roots – Common Future” in the years 2010 - 2012 In the years 2010 – 2012 the following schools worked together in the COMENIUS-Project “COMMON ROOTS – COMMON FUTURE” - Heilig-Harthandelsinstituut Waregem, Belgium - SOU Ekzarh Antim I Kazanlak, Bulgaria - Urspringschule Schelklingen, Germany - Xantus Janos Kettannyelvu Idegenforgalmi Kozepiskola es Szakkepzo Iskola Budapest, Hungary - Fjölbrautaskolinn I Breidholti Reykjavik, Iceland - Sykkylven vidaregaaende skule Sykkylven, Norway - Wallace Hall Academy Thornhill, Scotland <a href="http://de.fotolia.com/id/24737519" title="" alt="">WoGi</a> - Fotolia.com © WoGi - Fotolia.com ~ 1 ~ During the project meetings in the participating countries the students and teachers were cooking typical meals from their country or region, they exchanged the recipes and we decided to put all these family recipes together to a recipe book. As the recipes are based on different measurements and temperature scales we have added conversion tables for your (and our) help. At the end of the recipe book you will find a vocabulary list with the most common ingredients for the recipes in the languages used in the countries involved in the project. For the order of recipes we decided to begin with starters and soups being followed by various main courses and desserts. Finally we have added a chapter about typical cookies and cakes. We learned during the project work, that making cookies yourself is not common in many of the countries involved in this project, but nevertheless many nice cookies recipes exist – we wanted to give them some space here and we hope that you will try out some of them! We have added a DVD which shows the making of some of the dishes during the meetings and also contains the recipes.

We urge the user to take note of the definite article singular ( a, la, an or lan ) which is shown for each noun. Lan has one variant: nan.

    N A T 1 O N A L 1 T 13 R E C 1 P E S NATIONALITY RECIPES Compiled By ELEANOR F. WELLS DIRECTOR of the SCHOOL OF HOMEMAKING Y. W. C. A. PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND 1935 FOREWORD The idea of a collection of nationality recipes is not new. In publishing this little booklet we are not aiming to follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before, but to express in compact form those dishes of other lands which have appealed to us, and which may easily be prepared in an Ameri­ can home. A few distinctly local recipes of Ameri­ can origin will also be found. Recipes already familiar to all have been elimi­ nated and where a duplication has appeared in simi­ lar recipes of neighboring lands, the dish is de­ scribed once, from the earlier source. Much that is familiar to Armenia, is also to other near Eastern Countries. Much that is known in Russia is custom­ ary in Poland and Lithuania. The tastes of the Viennese and Berlin Cafes are similar. The dishes presented have been tried in our Nationality Foods Classes, and it is because of the interest there displayed that we have ventured to speed this booklet on its way. Without the cooperation of the Providence In­ ternational Institute the book would have been un­ worthy of its name. To Miss Gertrude Saunders, the Director of the Institute, great thanks are due, for her unfailing interest, also to the members of her Staff who have assisted so liberally from their own resources.
