The purpose of this article is to follow up on the experimental course the school previously held, organize the cooking processes of traditional dishes as well as conversations with the chef into a written report, and so duly record the content of the experimental course and the interaction between students and interviewee.

The Truku have many gourmet dishes, many of which are baked or soup dishes, so that the original flavors of the ingredients may be fully enjoyed. At festive rituals or weddings and funerals, the Truku make and share with each other bamboo rice, banana rice, and mochi. Nowadays, aside from traditionally used ingredients, Truku people also incorporative innovative ingredients and cooking techniques into their cuisine, such as frying battered foods, adding dried anchovies, and etc., in order to make Truku gourmet food more acceptable to a wider audience.

Most of the students at our school are Truku children, so our teachers designed a mid-grade experimental course for us that was to be conducted during club activity hours and flexible teaching hours, a course that consisted of a systematic introduction to the traditional foods and tribal plants of the Truku. Aside from letting us get to know the different varieties of Truku food through the internet or other research material, our teachers even invited the cooking experts of the community to come to our school, teach us their skills, and let us try our hands at making tasty traditional food, an activity that was both appetizing and fun. The moms of our community are not only great cooks, but had answers to all the questions we had, and we came away with full stomachs and enriched experience.

The Truku delicacies the moms of the community taught us are tasty but simple to make, so come along and try them out for yourselves!
