Lettuce Cook — The Cooking Club

Food is the most essential part of life. We simply cannot survive without it. Hence we all share an intimate relationship with food. But as the modern age progresses, we are beginning to have a rather impersonal relationship with food. Most of us are unaware of the origins of the food on our plate. Where did the ingredients come from? What are the different processes to prepare the food? Or even the science behind it.

Hence we believed that it is necessary to educate students of at least senior school about food. Cooking is a life skill and everyone should know the basics of it. With this idea we started “Lettuce Cook” — The Cooking Club of Sahyadri. When students go out for higher education, this skill will come in handy to survive, to socialise and to be independent.

With every session we plan to explore important ingredients, learn different techniques involved in cooking such as kneading, poaching, sauteing, frying, chopping, baking etc.
