This book of recipes is the result of the collaboration among pairs of 13 students in a French English class at Collège La Guyonnerie, Bures Sur Yvette and 13 students of a Greek ICT class at 4th Junior High School of Petroupolis that have shared adventures the school year 2018-2019 in eTwinning “Mission impossible?” This was their 7th mission and details follow. Each one of the selected recipes is cooked and during the presentation at their school students have created videos sharing their impressions. It is difficult to share the fun we had in this mission but recipes are easy for kids and you can try these by yourself. Enjoy!

Dear Agents, Your training isn't finished. When you go on mission to a foreign country, you generally have to eat foreign food. Of course, you must be careful because you never know what could be in the food... But if you are suspicious of everything, you can offend the local population because food is an essential part of their culture. Sharing food together is also a positive welcome sign. Consequently, you must accept to eat anything that is served (you will of course always have a bottle of antidote for possible poisons, don't worry). To prepare for your mission, you must help your partner. Go to the forum and ... 1. Post three pictures of foods from your country that foreigners are suspicious of or foods that look or smell strange but are actually delicious. 2. Select one of the three foods in your partner's list and tell him/her(link to the forum) what you selected. 3. Write the recipe for the food that your partner selected. 4. Watch the video for the greek and the french food and make your own as you prepare and/or taste the food from the recipe of your partner. Have a delicious time!

Solene(FR) and Erikaiti (GR) Erikaiti has suggested: a) tyropitaki (cheese pie) with honey and sesame b) Ntomatokeftedes (fried tomato balls) with fried zucchini and tzatziki sauce c) Ice-cream with jam
Solene has chosen the finger cheese comes Erikaiti’s recipe:
Ingredients ● ● ● ● ●
250 g feta cheese 50 g gravier grated 1 big egg 2 tbl. greek yogurt 2 tbl. chopped parsley
● ● ● ●
pies with honey and sesame and here
pepper olive oil for spreading the leaves 300 g crust (fyllo) salt optionally, depending on how salty the cheeses you use
STEPS
1. Prepare the filling mixture. In a large bowl, press the slice with a fork to melt well. Add the remaining ingredients (kefalotyri, egg, yoghurt, pepper and parsley) and mix to homogenise 2. Cut the fyllo from its widest side into 7.5 cm wide strips. Pour some olive oil and put 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture on the edge of the leaf. To wrap tyropitakia in a triangular shape, we bring the bottom corner to the opposite side. We straighten the filling by pressing gently with our fingers and continue the wrapping in the same way, bringing the other corner to the opposite side. We continue until the strip ends (see video). Place the cheese pies in an oven baking pan that has been loaded with labels. To maintain their nice triangular shape, place them with the sheet joining down (touching the baking tray). 3. Pour the cheese pies over with a minimum of olive oil and bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C in the air mode until they get a nice golden color. 4. Drop some honey and sesame on top. They are wonderfully warm but also cold. The leaf remains crispy even the next day if you keep it out of the refrigerator. If you find my description difficult, you can watch this video

pie for her partner who had asked portokalopita recipe

10 fresh onions (tender) with their leaves cut into thin slices 1 dry onion very chopped or grated 1 bunch of dill finely chopped (with its stalks) 1 bunch of parsley finely chopped (with stalks) 1 bunch of mint chopped (with its stalks) 1/2 fl. trahanas 450 g of hard feta cheese 1/2 fl. extra virgin olive oil 2 big eggs 1/4 fl. water, salt and pepper

Mix the dry and fresh onion, chopped tender leeks, tender onions with their leaves, chopped fresh herbs (dill, mint and parsley) salt and pepper and rub their hands until they wither, for about 1 -2 minutes. Smash the trachana, slice into trimmings and stir. In a small pot, knock eggs, evaporated milk and olive oil. Mix the half of the egg mixture with the greens. In the remaining egg mixture drop some water to dilute the texture (about 50 ml). Use a large, shallow baking pan for the spinach pie, 40 or 42 cm.Straighten the first large fyllo dough so that to have some of it off the walls of the pan. Spread over it a little egg mixture. Over the first one, spread two more fyllo sheets and add some olive oil in between. Also sprinkle lightly some of the egges mixture. Empty the filling of the greens into this pan in a thin layer. Cover with three fyllo sheets crumpled and sprinkled with oil in between. Cut into pieces and spread some extra virgin olive oil over it. Cook in a well preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 1 hour. We can boost the pie with fresh mint, parsley or a few wild mountains’ stamnagathi.

Hector(FR) and Stamatis(GR) Stamatis has suggested a) trachanas b) koulouri thessalonikis c) xorta(boiled green salad)

Ingredients: ● ● ● ● ● ●
150 g hard flour (bread flour) 350 g all-purpose flour 7 ½ g salt 35 g sugar 275-300 water, at room temperature 2 packets active dry yeast
For coating ● sesame seeds ● 2 tablespoons sugar ● 500 g lukewarm water
● ● ●
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
STEPS
Preheat the oven to 200*C (390*F) Fan. Use the mixing bowl from your mixer. Add the water and yeast and mix with a spoon until the yeast has dissolved. Let it rest for 5-6 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy. Add the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl (the hard wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar and salt). Beat them, using the hook attachment, on medium/high. It should take about 7-8 minutes until if forms a soft, elastic dough, which is easy to handle. The dough will start to pull off the bottom. Grease the whole interior of a bowl with oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rest for 30 minutes to 1 ½ hours, until it doubles in size. Fill a bowl with water (500g). Add the sugar and mix until the sugar dissolves. Add the sesame to a separate bowl. Brush some oil on to a clean work surface before setting down the dough. Cut in to about 10 pieces, 80 g each. Form smooth balls. Knead each ball by hand, in to a long roll (like a sausage). Bring the two edges together to form a circle. Try to make them all the same size and shape. Dip each bagel into the bowl with water and directly into the bowl with sesame seeds. Place on to 35x40 cm baking pans that have been lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until golden. To serve, brush with melted butter while they are still hot. Try them with blue cheese, feta cheese or any cheese. I am sure french cheese matches well (VIDEO)
