Second Term 2019
Indian Vegetarian Cooking
The Magic of Spices and Herbs
Nowadays, more and more people wish to
decrease their consumption of meat for both
ethical and health reasons. Many vegetarian
dishes rely heavily on cream, cheese and eggs.
Indian cookery offers a rich palette of savoury
dishes that can satisfy a hearty appetite. With a
combination of garlic, onion and ginger at the
base and the use of spices, aromatics and chillies
adapted to individual tastes, dishes can be
prepared for anyone.

Learn English With Song
Weekend Course
Do you like listening to music? Do you have a
large collection of CDs or downloads on your
phone? Why not use them to improve your
English grammar and widen your vocabulary?
You are more likely to remember vocabulary and
grammatical structures if you consciously hear
them in song. You’ll remember them even more if
you sing along!
We will listen to and sing along with traditional
songs as well as jazz and pop songs by The
Beatles, Adele, Frank Sinatra and others. After
listening, we will talk about the message in the
songs and look at some interesting grammatical
structures and vocabulary, in particular idioms.

An unknown Gem in Bonn Organ Builders Klais A guided Tour There are Klais Organs on every continent. They sound in churches, in Cathedrals and in concert halls; in cities as well as in villages. For more than 125 years in the fourth generation now organ building has been the principal concern of the
Klais family. For more than 125 years they have
both lived and worked under the same roof. The
workshop Klais is home to a staff of approx
imadedicated craftsmen.They are bound by
tradition: preservation of old values, mainten
ance of what has proved worthwile. Yet with time
new laws evolve. Modern technology may
sometimes be applied discreetly. New methods
appear in organ building. Klais aims to strike the
right balance.
The factory walk offers you the opportunity to get
interesting insights in the work of the organ
builders, spanning the modern age and the
tradition, with the focus on creating a lively
instrument as for example the recent Elbphil
harmonie in Hamburg.

Sicilian cooking
Sicilian cuisine reflects the varied history of this
island and therefore stands out from the normal
Italian cooking. The wide use of aubergines/
eggplants bears witness to the Turkish Empire
while the taste for sugar, spices and almonds was
established during the Saracen reign and then
developed at the opulent Norman court of
Frederick II. The Spanish then introduced choc
olate and tomatoes, the first often used in savory
recipes, while the French expanded the cooking
skills. In this class we will explore this rich land
scape with 4 simple and tasty dishes that will
enrich your everyday meal.

be considered the Larousse of French cuisine:
"Le Guide Culinaire". With more than 5000 recipe

served as reference in many classic French
restaurant to this day. In this course we will
explore these traditions by bringing some of these
classics in our home kitchens and into our

Rethinking pre
Hispanic
Gender Roles in
Andean Societies
Women played ce
ntral roles in the pre
Hispanic Andean
communal and com
plex societies, which
has not been ack
nowledged for a long time since relevant data in
the archaeological record were largely ignored.
The archaeological research often in hands of
male scholars tended to neglect the relevance of
female activities and worldviews. This presentation
illustrates the power and centrality of women in pre
Hispanic Andean societies, taking a new perspective
to study the position of women in the past.
