THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL CURRICULUM TEACHER TRAINING FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2011-2013, elementary school Marjan, Split, Croatia

4. If you walk through our streets,
you will feel the scent of good
food that can reverse the mood of
the moment and cheer up any sad
person!
That scent was very well known to
our grandmothers, great
grandmothers as well as it is to us
today. The link with the past is the
most lively and profound through
the food. Food determines the life
of every individual in the most
memorable way.

5. To keep the tradition alive, 2nd grade pupils of
Elementary school Marjan did their best to collect
the recipes for a small portion of tasty traditional
dishes in order to preserve them for the future.

7. This school year, pupils are
learning about healthy and varied
diet, so, together with their teacher
they decided to collect recipes for
healthy food and dishes that are
traditionally cooked in this region.
They tried to prepare some dishes
with the help and assistance of
their mothers and grandmothers.
Let's take a look!

8. Menu
We have agreed on who is going to
bring which food, bearing in mind
that it should be local and
ecologically grown.
Then we determined what we all
like the best and decided what to
cook.
Warm appetizer: fish soup of hake
- cook: Dario’s grandma Marica
Main dish: baked octopus with potatoes
and five kinds of salad, homemade
bread
- cooks: Hrvoje’s grandma Vera and
Gabriel’s grandma Katija
Dessert: hrostuli and fritters
- cooks: Tino’s grandma Vinja and Livia’s
grandma Ana

9. Good preparation is half the work done
Pupils were divided into three groups.
The first group washed the vegetables
and prepared the kitchen utensils.
The second group squeezed some local lemons
and oranges to make refreshing drinks
The third group carefully set the tables

10. The big chefs and the little chefs
Grandmas Vinja and Ana – the dessert
Very pleased grandmothers told us that
this was a great start. Lunch is still the
main meal that brings together the whole
family, and is based on local vegetables,
fish and seafood, Mediterranean spices
and olive oil.

11. Octopus as a star of the day
Veronica's dad caught a fresh octopus while diving
in the sea. It is not easy to clean the octopus.
Where are its teeth?

12. Union is strength.

13. Hake soup is both delicious and good
for you.

14. The Fruit is nature's candy

15. Hrostuli and fritters make for excellent
dessert.

16. Too many cooks spoil the broth – or do they?
Normally, it takes about an hour to roast the
octopus but our oven malfunctioned and it
only slightly warmed it. Nevertheless, the
grannies improvised and fried the octopus in
a pan so that children wouldn’t go hungry.

17. The children were taught an important lesson – „if life deals you
lemons, make lemonade..” They ate their lunch and, of course, drunk
their lemonade with pleasure.

18. Table manners are important.
You are what you eat.

19. So please don’t eat junk food

20. After lunch, the pupils set up a play called
Fruit talk

21. In the end
The children washed the dishes and
cleaned the kitchen.
They have learned to cherish and
preserve for the next generation the
traditional values they inherited from their
grandmothers and grandfathers.
Everyone enjoyed learning without pen
and paper and looks forward to our next
gathering in the kitchen.
