There should be provided for this lesson (from the homes of the pupils
or the school garden), some fruit or vegetable in season that can be
cooked by dry heat. Each pupil may be able to bring an apple or a
potato. The teacher should be sure to have an oven that can be well
heated for baking and to have the fire well started before the lesson
begins, so that the oven will be ready for use.
Lessons in geography and nature study should be correlated with the
cooking lesson, to give the pupils an opportunity to study the source of
foods and the reasons for cooking them.
One of the pupils should write the recipes on the black-board before the
lesson hour.
