E11 The One with the Taste Prisms

Sure, Tuberman possesses infinite wisdom, but can he cook?

Lucy and Maddy have to help Tuberman, their intergalactic space potato friend, make Zucchini Slice - except he doesn’t quite understand their technical language. This is a great lead-in to lessons around writing for an audience, procedural text, informative or process writing, as well as beginning to understand how recipes are formed using predictable patterns (something that’s sure to hold them in good stead in the classroom and the kitchen).

Factastical #10

The best thing to help chilli burn is milk. That’s because it contains casein, a fat-loving compound that binds with chilli’s spicy capsaicin oil and then washes it away.
