Answer 2

Try to remember that most food can be cooked in 30 to 45 minutes at 350-degrees of heat.

The greatest amount of time is in the preparation stage: cleaning, paring, trimming, cutting, etc. A good cook has all the ingredients prepared and ready to cook before anything is subjected to heat.

Ethnic recipes are usually easy, once the food is prepared. Decide what ethnic grouping you want to teach then ask for recipes.

Answer 3

Vietnamese spring rolls are simple, delicious, nutritious and don't need utensils, except for a grill or pan. You'll need these items(some from an Asian market): rice paper, lettuce, Thai basil, mint, rice noodles, and any of the following: beef, pork, shrimp, catfish, squid, or more vegies, like bean sprouts if you want a vegetarian roll. You also need to buy fish sauce for dipping. (Unless you have time to make your own.) You can cook the meat ahead of time (grill or sautee the beef, shrimp, pork or squid, and steam the fish) and put everything out in individual dishes, that is, a plate of meat, a plate of vegies, etc. Each person also needs a bowl of water to wet/soften the rice paper for wrapping. Then each person can wrap his/her own. If space is limited, one large plate of meat, vegies, etc. can be shared among a small group. Enjoy!

Swedish small meatballs served alone or with a thin pan gravy and traditionally accompanied by potatoes and red lingonberry jam .

Serves 4 to 6; Yields two to three dozen meatballs, depending on size.
