Practical reflection for cookery

When you reflect on your cookery practical each week and write it up, you will have 3 headings: 

1) What did you do? - What did you make, what were the processes involved?

For example  'This week we met Svend and were shown around the kitchen. We had a look around the Living Campus and the gardens that the cookery students use. We were taught how to sanitise the bench and wash our hands properly. I made fish and chips with tartare sauce'.

2) What did you learn? - What skills or processes did you learn?
'I learned how to deep fry fish, how to use a knife and hold it properly to slice potatoes for chips. I now know how to make tartare sauce from scratch!I learned some basic health and safety for the kitchen and techniques for hand washing and bench sanitising in a commercial kitchen'
3) Where else could you use that? - In what other situations or ways could these skills or processes be used.
' These skills would be really useful to have if I wanted to get a job in a kitchen or cafe. I now know how to use a deep fryer so I could deep fry other foods (such as Moro Bars!). I think I could now use my knife skills for slicing and chopping other kinds of food - this is also useful for cooking at home or if I want to get a job as a kitchen hand.'

  
If you have missed cookery that week, have a look at the recipe that was used, or a similar one from the internet or cook book. Write about:

1) The process of making that dish (for example, making pies: first I would make the pastry and roll it out. Then I would chop the onion and fry it, chop the meat and add it to the pan, add the flavouring....' etc.

2) The skills you would use if you made that dish (' If I made this dish I, I would need to learn how to dice vegetables, how to tell when the pie was cooked inside'.

3) Where else could you use that? - In what other situations or ways could these skills or processes be used (see above for an example).
