Cookies

Today we made cookies, they tasted very good. We collected all of our equiptment and then got started with making the dough. We made 12 cookies altogether by the end and we faced some problems throughtout this session. We didnt leave enough time to cookie the cookies so by the end they were more like dough, but it was alright because they still tasted very good.

Fourth cooking lesson

today was my fourth cooking lesson we made chicken and avacado quesadillas which ended up tasting really good. We had to make sure we had all the ingredients and then it was time to get started. We shredded up the chicken and cut up the avacdo into slim pieces then we had to cut up the sundried tomatoes. Just before it was ready to go into the toaster we added the cheese, then it was time to toast them. By the end the quesadillas tasted very good and we had no problems during the process.

ACTIVITY 3

Activity sheet: healthy eating
what is a balanced diet?

1. Are any of the food groups missing?

- The answer depends on what is in the salad, because if there was no vegetables there could be no fibre.

2. Are the correct proportions being eaten?

- In the 14 year old, the portions aren't correct because they are mostly eating the fatty foods instead of the right portions, but the 28 year old the portions are mostly correct.

3. How could the diets be more balanced?

- If the 14 year old ate more of the daily required food groups, instead of the food they are eating now.

THIRD LESSON

Today was our third lesson of hospo, we made scones! I was very excited becuase i really like the taste of scones. We firstly were taught the technique on how to need the ingredients together so that it wasn't 'heavy'. I really enjoyed making the scones becuase i have never really made them. Overall, in the end with the jam and cream my scones tasted very good and my partner Pepper and I were the first finshed!

My second cooking lesson

Today we made macaroni and cheese, i was happy becuase i really like macaroni and cheese. we firstly had to get all of the ingredients and learn how to make it from Mrs baker. When she was finished we went to our cooking bench and got our macaroni on the boil. Then we got started on the cheese part. We had to melt the butter on the stove and then added flour when it was completly melted. After that we added the milk and then finally the cheese. My partner and I put it in the oven to melt the cheese and make it more crispy. This was one of my favourite dishes.
