延續聖誕佳欣的溫暖,歲末禮物製作工作坊來到第四場!我們前往清泉,到達時孩子已經坐在教室外等待,看起來十分期待今日的課程,孩子即將化身為小小廚師,為自己與同伴製作豐盛的純植聖誕餐,也將烘烤狗狗餅乾,分享美味給毛小孩,一起來看當天的記錄吧!

由烹煮 #純植午餐 開始,除了孩子熱愛的椰奶水果沙拉外,還有烤馬鈴薯、純植肉排瑪芬堡以及可可香蕉蛋糕;其中煎純植肉排的任務對孩子而言較為困難,他們一開始躍躍欲試,但聽到噗滋的熱油聲,立即閃得遠遠,雖然第一片肉排以烤焦收場,後來才漸漸掌握技法,面對不熟悉的事物時,失敗也是一種學習。

享用完午餐後,孩子興奮地帶著我們參觀他們的學校「桃山國小」,沿途經過搖晃的長吊橋時,大朋友的緊張不安與孩子老神在在形成有趣的對比,接著,學校操場及教學樓印入眼簾,一邊是山另一邊是溪水,這般美景讓人感到很放鬆;有孩子大聲地邀請我們 PK 籃球,在炎熱的天氣下打籃球,陽光照印在孩子的臉上曬得紅通通,實在是可愛極了!

午後時光,我們一起製作狗狗餅乾,烘焙課程對清泉孩子來說得心應手,食譜量測及基礎烘焙技巧難不倒他們,孩子像變魔術般,大朋友清洗器具的時間,一盤狗狗餅乾便完成了!餅乾出爐那一刻,孩子迫不及待地想看自己的成品,一個孩子問:「我可以帶幾個給家裡的狗狗吃嗎?」結果被我們發現,他在回家路上偷吃了幾口,由此可證這次的餅乾相當成功!

這次的課程,除了備菜及烘焙技巧之外,安排進階的烹煮項目讓孩子體驗,從害怕熱油噴濺到順利完成餐點,可以實踐#作伙呷菜 與大家分享餐點,我們看見孩子的潛力與進步,如同狗狗訓練時可能會失敗,經過嘗試後才會成功;相信狗狗品嚐孩子手作的愛心餅乾後,能補充滿滿能量,完成更多訓練,並且找到永遠的家。

We always love coming back to ChingChuan and our kids here are always eager to learn and help in any way they can, making every creative education workshop such fun. It’s always such a treat to be able to have fun while learning and today, in the spirit of our year end Jia-Xin gift creation classes, we were also able to pass it forward and donate a little something back to charity!

Kids started off the day by making their own lunches. We had expected an overcapacity of 16 children but due to a last minute event by the school, we were given a blessing in disguise of hosting a more specialized workshop with fewer kids, meaning higher engagement. They definitely rose to the challenge and prepared food for other children who said they would join us for lunch.

Mini burgers with omnipork patties, twice baked potatoes, banana chocolate chip bread topped with whip cream, and our signature seasonal fruit salad with coconut milk were diced, chopped, grilled, and baked all by the children. This delicious meal set up them up for an afternoon of baking doggy treats to donate to Mary’s Doggies and a school tour and basketball game for our new Big Friends.

Thank you children of ChingChuan! We love to see your smiles and can’t wait to head back up to see you! I think my favorite part is being able to share experiences with friends who fall in love with the kids here so we hope others can join us on the journey in 2024!
