Cooking Class in English!

Has the idea of teaching English through cooking ever crossed your mind? Believe me, it is really tasty! Students love it, and better, they'll have the opportunity to experience something "fun-tastic"! Here is a list of ESL (English as a Second Language) cooking activities - Here is the first one about vocab:

ESL Cooking Vocabulary Lesson

There is also this link to several "food/restaurant lesson plans"

And this is a book I highly recommend to enhance your cooking skills
"Not Just Hamburgers" by Virginia Klie. She also recommends these sites for the ones interested in both English and Cooking:

1) http://allrecipes.com/

2) The Cook's Thesaurus http://www.foodsubs.com/ is a cooking encyclopedia that covers thousands of ingredients and kitchen tools. Entries include pictures, descriptions, synonyms, pronunciations, and suggested substitutions.

3) RecipeSource http://www.recipesource.com/ is the new home of SOAR: The Searchable Online Archive of Recipes and your source for recipes on the Internet.

And finally, this is my suggestion. Take a look at this great site for online cooking games. It says it's for girls... I am sure boys will also enjoy playing this game! Some of the recipes you can do for real!
