Climate friendly cooking

A few weeks ago we got together with some Danish students who study Health and Nutrition and they were going to help us make a Climate Friendly Meal. So we parted in little groups and discussed what was typical Danish food and food from our country, we also talked about how we can understand the term Climate Friendly Cooking. We came to the conclusion that using season vegetables, fresh products and products that don’t need to be imported or be transported from another country can also help keeping the environment healthy.
Then we had to split up in groups of four, twee foreign students and two Danish students. We had to talk about what we would like prepare for our group and we decided to make a vegetable lasagne.
Last tuesday our little cooking group got back together and we made a shopping list. Then we went to Fakta to got everything we needed: sun dried tomato’s, milk, butter, onions, …
Wednesday was the big day, THE cooking day. We got together discussed who was going to make what… In less then one hour our vegetable lasagne with spinach sauce, tomato sauce and cheese sauce was in the oven. Because we had so much spare time until our lasagne would be ready we decided to make some pancakes with the leftovers.
After 2 hours of cooking the buffet was ready and we could start eating. It was really delicious, there was so much diversity. We had tagine, vegetable lasagne, Spanish omelette and red berry with cream + pancake dessert. Mmmmmm.. it was a really nice meal and it was nice to get together with some Danish students as well!
