Foods 8

Hello everyone This week you wanted to continue with making sweets. So we were working with sugar cookies in different methods. The more that you create and make the same recipe the more that you will be able to improve some of the approaches and routines of that task. Over time this will make it that much easier, faster and the end product with become better.  We attempted sugar cookies with glaze, we then tried to make piped glaze and lastly we made buttercream and a simple whoopie pie.  Have a good weekend. 

Hello Everyone, We had a good start back to school this week after some time off for thanksgiving. I hope that you enjoyed your break and that you are ready for the next chunk of time leading up to winter break. This week we started with some class time where you revisited the final research project. This project is designed for you to investigate some of the deeper parts of the food industry. Please feel free to explore where your interest lies as that will make it far more interesting. This week we also tried to make sugar cookies with a glaze. Overall it was a super simple process, but you have the opportunity to experiment with decorating and flavours for the glaze. Have a great weekend.

Hello Everyone, Good job this week. This was the last week that we had before the Thanksgiving Break. We tried to finish up some of the extra ingredients in the kitchen as they may go bad over the next week. We tried to make something a little more complicated with brownies and caramel sauce. To be successful we needed to be able to use your time effectively, starting the brownies then moving to the sauce. One of the other key skills needed was heat management as making the sauce could very quickly go from under cooked to burnt in a matter of minutes. Overall good attempts. Have a good week off.

Hello everyone, This week we continued to work on some of the key skills that we need in the kitchen. One of these is the need to develop our skill in heat management, organization and planning and meeting standards for cleanliness. We did this through making pancakes this week and also through letting you modify and change the recipe. I hope you were able to see the differences from your changes. Once again next week we will continue to build on our increasing skills. Have a good weekend.
