Unit 3: Cooking and Food

This week in class, we watched a cooking video about how to make a well-known Italian pasta dish, "Pasta Carbonara".

You may review the video for the pasta recipe here:



This week's discussion:
In our online discussion, I want you to check out one of my favorite cooking blogs, Maangchi!

Yes, that's "maangchi". As in, "hammer"!

This cook lived in Toronto for a long time. Korean cuisine is actually really popular in Toronto, and there are LOTS of Korean restaurants there. Maangchi shows English-speaking people how to make some of Korea's most popular dishes at home. Thanks to her, I've learned a lot about Korean cooking!

Here's a link to her video for how to make gamjatang:



Yum yum yum.
