The following are some of the favorite recipes of Joan Pearson’s first grade students as seen from their view. The “cookbook” is a compilation of 22 recipes, one from each child, in honor of Mother’s Day. Pearson transcribed the recipes, exactly as told to her by each 6- or 7-year-old child.
Just a note: All recipes should undergo a test taste, before serving.
Roast Chicken
By Maggie
2-1/2 cups of a juicy kind of oil
4 pieces of fish
4 cups of lemon juice
Put the ingredients in a pan and put into the oven. The oven should be on the 15, and cook for 5 minutes I think. When it’s done you put some broth around it.
Roast Beef
By Unity
7 pounds of beef
1 inch of salt
1/4 cup butter
Put the meat into the pot and add the butter and salt. Put the pot into the microwave for half an hour. The butter melts into the meat and makes it really good. Then after it’s done cooking, leave it out for one day and then the next day we eat it. The reason you leave it out for one day is so that it gets nice and tender.
