For twelve children aged between ten and fifteen, Saturdays are spent learning the art of cooking. Their weekly lessons in small classes are so popular that there is a waiting list of 30 children who want to do the course. Parents pay £280 for the course where their children can have fun and learn how to make good food.

Class member Bill, aged ten, says, “I love my mom’s cooking and now I can do it better than her. The teachers always make us laugh, especially when we sit down with them to share the food we’ve made.”

Flora is twelve, and she says, “I did a meal for ten friends which they really enjoyed. Then my mom suggested I take up a hobby, instead of doing nothing on weekends. I was happy staying at home, so I wasn’t too keen at first. I’m really glad I decided to come, though.”

Their teacher, Philippe, says, “The students are great. They pay attention and remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn’t always as tidy when they’re cooking! As adults, we’re always learning more about food. If parents interest their children in cooking while they are young, they’ll have enough skills to make food for themselves when they leave home.”

All animals produce waste. We call it “waste”, but we all know it can be very useful. Farmers have long used animal and human waste as a fertilizer (肥料). In some parts of the world, animal waste or poop, is collected, dried and burned for cooking and heating. 1.

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has an unusual way of using animal waste. The pandas in it produce a lot of poop a day. 2. It’s not strange. After all, paper is made from plant fiber (植物纤维), which cannot be digested (消化) and simply goes through the body as waste.

Since pandas eat nothing but bamboo, their waste is perfect paper material. 3. Their stomachs haven’t fully developed for their vegetarian diet, so their bodies make use of just 20% of what they eat. The other 80% comes out as poop: very high in fiber and perfect for paper.

After the poop is collected, it is cleaned, crushed and poured into frames to dry.4. No one can guess where the paper comes from. And because of its good quality (质量) as well as the worldwide popularity of the panda, gift products made from the paper sell well.

5. They got the idea from the elephant dung paper (由大象粪便做的纸) made at the Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And Creative Paper Wales in the UK sells paper gifts made from sheep waste.
