This week, I surpassed all challenges and made Mofongo, which is a traditional Puerto Rican dish. It requires not only a knowledge of flavor and culture, but skill. As you can see in the video below, the plantain peels ripped my nails, the frying oil burned me, and the constant smashing of plantains with garlic and seasoning made my arm sore for days. Nonetheless, it was worth it to bond with my step-mother and learn more about her culture through cooking. Check out my video below (there is no sound until the last few minutes)!
This week I commented on Acuna, Kuo, and Han.
Hey Kate? I think that the work that you have put in on the different foods you've done really shows some dedication to the art of cooking. Also, you have done a good job of working with your stepmom and learning from here, as you have continued to improve throughout the project. Do you think that you will continue cooking these foods after this project?
ReplyDeleteHi Cole, thanks for your comment! I visited Puerto Rico over Spring Break, and I was even more inspired to cook great and culturally relevant foods. Thanks!
