This week we are learning about the four principles of food safety and how to keep a clean kitchen and work space, focusing on cross-contamination and handling high-risk foods such as poultry, eggs, meat and dairy products. Our lab this week is BBQ chicken quesadillas, focusing on food, knife and stove safety. Students will be using precooked chicken to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
No school Monday - Victoria Day
On Friday, students participated in a dairy lesson and cheese tasting. We will then have a grilled cheese with a twist lab, where students will make customized grilled cheese sandwiches served with apple slices. The focus for this lab is on knife and stove safety. This week students are working in groups of two or three to make granola served with yogurt. We will be focusing on kitchen safety and continuing to learn lab routines; this will be a big lab for measuring skills! On Friday students will participate in a dairy lesson and cheese tasting, having the opportunity to try five different types of cheese, including a goats milk cheese.
This week is our first cooking lab! Students participated in a dishwashing relay to learn the lab routines that will become a part of every cooking lab over the next 7 weeks. We are making marshmallow treats to focus on lab routines and safety.

This week students will complete a Unit Snoop activity to become familiar with common kitchen equipment and where the items are located in their kitchens. Students will participate in a dishwashing relay to learn the lab routines that will become a part of every cooking lab over the next 8 weeks. Our first cooking lab is next week. We are making marshmallow treats to focus on lab routines and safety.
