During the vacations, there are usually children who carry out pedagogical reinforcement at home or who simply go to vacation spaces where they carry out extracurricular activities. I think it is a very useful activity, since children do not spend so much time in front of a screen or in leisure, but they spend those free hours in something that leaves them a significant learning. I recently helped one of my little nieces to do an activity in a vacation plan. She was mostly inclined towards the cooking area, as she loves it. It is in this part where she focuses her attention and wants to be, in the future, a great chef.

Con mucha alegría y entusiasmo, me comparte toda la experiencia que ha vivido en esta aventura junto a otros compañeritos, donde ha tenido la oportunidad de explorar, cocinar e innovar con ingredientes en el arte culinario. Cabe destacar que la carga de estudio en este momento es bastante reducida, pero muy provechosa para ellos, ya que aprenden desde la repostería hasta hacer diferentes aderezos que permiten disfrutar en familia.
>With much joy and enthusiasm, she shares with me all the experience she has lived in this adventure with other classmates, where she has had the opportunity to explore, cook and innovate with ingredients in the culinary art. It should be noted that the study load at this time is quite small, but very rewarding for them, as they learn from baking to making different dressings that they can enjoy with their families.
Particularmente, pienso que aprender a cocinar a corta edad no es una desventaja; se convierte en una herramienta útil de independencia a futuro, siempre con los cuidados y supervisión necesarios. Se pueden desarrollar diversas actividades en la cocina junto a la familia, además de que es una actividad que disfruto hacer con mis seres queridos.
>Particularly, I think that learning to cook at a young age is not a disadvantage; it becomes a useful tool for future independence, always with the necessary care and supervision. You can develop various activities in the kitchen with your family, and it is also an activity that I enjoy doing with my loved ones.
Entre risas y comentarios positivos, llevamos este proceso de manera amena. Al verla disfrutar y completamente vestida como toda una chef, me llenaba de orgullo. Susi, llena de entusiasmo y con muchas ganas de comenzar, puso manos a la obra. En este bonito día, terminamos realizando una deliciosa salsa de ajo. Sí, una salsa de ajo que, para muchos, puede parecer simple, pero para una niña de 11 años, es un reto. Como siempre he dicho, todos podemos tener los mismos ingredientes, pero solo hace falta usar sazón y amor para hacer un plato totalmente diferente.
>With laughter and positive comments, we went through this process in a pleasant way. Seeing her enjoying herself and fully dressed as a chef filled me with pride. Susi, full of enthusiasm and eager to begin, got down to work. On this beautiful day, we ended up making a delicious garlic sauce. Yes, a garlic sauce that, for many, may seem simple, but for an 11 year old girl, it is a challenge. As I have always said, we can all have the same ingredients, but all it takes is seasoning and love to make a totally different dish.
El reto era mayor, según las palabras de mi sobrina, ya que tenía que elaborar, envasar, etiquetar y hacer una presentación que deslumbrara a todos. También haría un video explicativo, dándonos cada detalle de cómo realizar esta receta. Les confieso que me gustó su versatilidad y fácil preparación. Claro, entre risas, chistes y un día menos, pudimos disfrutar de una salsa que no duró mucho tiempo antes de terminarse.
>The challenge was greater, according to my niece's words, since I had to elaborate, package, label and make a presentation that would dazzle everyone. She would also make an explanatory video, giving us every detail of how to make this recipe. I confess that I liked its versatility and easy preparation. Of course, between laughter, jokes and a day less, we were able to enjoy a sauce that did not last long before it was finished.
La preparación es bastante sencilla: se trata de mezclar los ingredientes, tales como ajo, perejil, pimienta, aceite, sal y huevo, junto con un toque de vinagre en la licuadora, hasta obtener una pasta gruesa. A este punto, tú decides si agregar suficiente aceite, lo que hará que el espesor sea más fuerte. El gusto de los ingredientes realmente varía; si deseas hacer una salsa ligera de sabor, no coloques demasiados dientes de ajo. Si quieres un sabor equilibrado, coloca de uno a dos dientes. En tal caso, se puede agregar cebolla o aliños verdes. La pimienta tiende a dar un sabor más fuerte, así que, si no te gusta, puedes sustituirla. Es importante considerar que esta salsa es una preparación bastante sencilla y muy común en los hogares venezolanos, ya que se convierte en el aderezo o complemento para las fiestas y los momentos de compartir en familia. Es un rico pasapalo y, además, es una de las salsas que se utiliza en las parrillas de nuestra región o con carne.
También se puede usar como base para condimentar con otros ingredientes, como pimentón rojo dulce o berenjena previamente asada.
Me gusta la experiencia que ha estado viviendo mi sobrina en toda esta aventura. Realmente es gratificante ver a nuestros jóvenes incursionar en cosas que les apasionan e incluir en su proyecto de vida este tipo de actividades hasta lograr desarrollarlas profesionalmente.
>The preparation is quite simple: it involves mixing the ingredients, such as garlic, parsley, pepper, oil, salt and egg, along with a touch of vinegar in the blender, until you get a thick paste. At this point, you decide whether to add enough oil, which will make the thickness stronger. The taste of the ingredients really varies; if you want to make a light flavored sauce, don't put too many garlic cloves. If you want a balanced flavor, place one to two cloves. In that case, you can add onion or green seasoning. Pepper tends to give a stronger flavor, so if you do not like it, you can substitute it. It is important to consider that this sauce is a fairly simple and very common preparation in Venezuelan homes, since it becomes the dressing or complement for parties and moments of family sharing. It is a delicious appetizer and, in addition, it is one of the sauces used in the grills of our region or with meat.
>It can also be used as a base for seasoning with other ingredients, such as sweet red pepper or previously roasted eggplant.
>I like the experience that my niece has been living in all this adventure. It is really gratifying to see our young people dabble in things they are passionate about and include in their life project this type of activities until they are able to develop them professionally
