We are starting the week with a review activity that highlights important aspects of kitchen safety, basic measuring and becoming familiar with the kitchens and location of common tools. Friday is the first cooking lab of the quarter. Students are working in pairs to make Italian soda, starting with an easier recipe to focus on lab routines and safety procedures.
Welcome to Quarter 4 Food Studies Exploratory! This week we will be discussing classroom routines and spending some time getting to know each other. Students will be learning about safety and sanitation in preparation of the upcoming cooking labs. Attached is a copy of the course outline and the welcome letter, this letter is handed out to new students and those with allergies and/or dietary restrictions I need to be aware of.
As we approach the end of our course, we will be cooking as much as possible! There are three cooking classes this week; we will start with pumpkin spice muffins and finish with a two-day lab of soft pretzels. Each of these labs require a basic understanding of recipe reading and measuring.
This week the focus of our lab will be on ingredients selection, measuring and recipe reading. The recipe we're using is a basic oatmeal cookie recipe but students will work with a partner to select key ingredients to understand how the ingredients work when baking with them. There will be a cookie design lesson to learn about the science of the ingredients before the baking lab. On Friday there will be a stovetop mac & cheese demo, which students will be making next week.
