He was already well versed in pie and pastry making, so teaching him laminated pastry and more difficult cakes and confectionary has proceeded much faster than I anticipated. (I suspect Helena feels the same, though she always pretends to be nonplussed at his progress.) His knowledge and interest in the dishes of other cultures also continues to surprise me. His empanadas, it seems, were only the tip of the bavarois. He makes a delightful curry after the East Indian style, and his fried plantains (both the sweet maduros and the crispy double-fried green ones) have become my new favorite snack before our evening meal. You would love them, Nanay, I am certain. Nanay, I've also taught him most of the rice dishes in my repertoire (as Helena continues to find rice to be rather lowly---though she eats risotto and paella readily enough when they're on the table), and although he was surprised when I first showed him plain, unadulterated rice as you make it, he soon gobbled it up and has been experimenting with more Eastern-inspired rice dishes and desserts and puddings ever since. ”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jennieke Cohen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jennieke-cohen/he-has-already-mastered-or-become-quite-proficient-at-a-number-of/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eca/jennieke-cohen-112030_accomplishments_he-has-already-mastered-or-become-quite_2479234.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eca/jennieke-cohen-112030_accomplishments_he-has-already-mastered-or-become-quite_2479234.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eca/jennieke-cohen-112030_accomplishments_he-has-already-mastered-or-become-quite_2479234.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“He has already mastered (or become quite proficient at) a number of skills and techniques such as braises…” — Jennieke Cohen", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/progressive-education/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/progressive-education/", "name": "Progressive-education Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/progressive-education/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7fb/caroline-pratt-32185_asking-questions_this-was-not-the-last-time-i-was-to-spoi_1553622.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 11 Progressive-education quotes by 8 authors.
