Students from Asia are accustomed to cooked breakfasts and a variety of dishes over dinner. Our students love being placed with host mums and dads who take pleasure in cooking. We all need our comfort food when we are away from home. You can take your student to the local Asian grocer or to the Asian section of the supermarket and let them point out what they like. Under your supervision, encourage students to develop independence and use the kitchen. Make no mistake, cooking counts, and when we make an effort, students post photos worthy of bragging rights. Students vote with their stomach; they never want to leave a family that makes great food.
