Bannock was a lot easier to make than Patricia Kennedy thought it would be.

SAӰӴýNot as good as some bannock that ISAӰӴýve had in the past, so I think I need to keep practising, but overall it was really good,SAӰӴý she said at the Nunavut ParksSAӰӴý SAӰӴýLearn to Make BannockSAӰӴý event at the Elders Cabin in Rankin Inlet Wednesday, Aug. 2.

She was in town for the week to run a science camp and thought it would be fun to swing by the event.

Ester Issaluk says she doesnSAӰӴýt know how to cook.

SAӰӴýItSAӰӴýs my first time and I like it,SAӰӴý she said about her bannock, rating it 100 per cent.

She was thankful to the hosts and said she would try the recipe at home.

Under the guidance of Charmaine Okatsiak, participants learned just the right levels of ingredients to use and how to properly fry the bannock, plus what extras to add in.

Maryjane Haduca had chocolate chips and raisins in hers.

SAӰӴýEasy enough when youSAӰӴýre watching someone,SAӰӴý she said about making bannock, giving it a SAӰӴýconfident 10.SAӰӴý

SAӰӴýFirst time making it and then first time knowing that you can put other things in it.SAӰӴý

ItSAӰӴýs her first full summer here as she approaches her one-year Rankin Inlet anniversary, so she figured sheSAӰӴýd join some activities.

SAӰӴýItSAӰӴýs just learning tradition and enjoying the summer,SAӰӴý she said.

Okatsiak was pleased with her apprentices, saying everyone was making good-looking bannock and appeared to be having fun. The smiles would attest to that.

She remembers her father teaching her to make bannock as a teenager.

SAӰӴýI started to try on my own,SAӰӴý said Okatsiak. SAӰӴýHe would watch me and guide me and it went from there.SAӰӴý

ItSAӰӴýs all in the consistency of the dough, she says. A common mistake is making it more like a pancake.

SAӰӴýLearn from your family members,SAӰӴý Okatsiak advised, adding not to be afraid to make mistakes along the way. SAӰӴýLearn from Elders. Teach each other.SAӰӴý
