Chicken Stir Fry Week:
This week's focus is on chicken lab safety and how to safely prepare raw chicken. Each kitchen will make chicken stir fry with a choice of teriyaki or sweet and sour sauce prepared from scratch. This week we are learning about food safety, particularly when working with raw ground beef. Our lab this week is taco salad, with a focus on knife skills and sanitation. On Friday we have a new mystery lab, Be an Herb or Spice Detective! Students will learn a bit about the history of spices and how spices are used to enhance the flavour of dishes. Working in groups students will try to identify 24 different herbs and spices based on appearance and smell.
We have a 2-day las this week: soft pizza pretzels. Our lesson is on Food Waste and students will be introduced to this challenging topic and will come up with solutions to this worldwide issue.
