Cooking with Choko: Making Arepas

Cocinando con choko, como hacer arepas.
Learning a new language implies knowing the culture from which it comes. Today we entered the world of cooking and culinary and for this we did a nice game with the children of Michuchutren. Our little friends became Chefs and prepared delicious “arepas”. The arepas are native to South America, specifically Colombia and Venezuela. It is a typical meal based on corn flour that is cooked on a rack, pan-fried or baked. You can eat them with cheese, stuffed with chicken or meat among others. Here we share our experience and an infographic that we hope you can use at home to make arepas with your children.

Mix, Knead, Shape, Cook and Enjoy.

If you took the initiative to make the arepas at home with your children, please share your experience commenting here or with your images on facebook and instagram. Remember to add #pasionporelespañol, #passionforspanish, #michuchutren. Thanks
