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.
Early Dismissal Days - February 8 & 9 for Parent-Teacher Interviews
This week we will continue with classroom review to prepare for next week's cooking lab. There will also be a mini-demo for Italian soda on Friday. Reminder - any student with allergies and/or dietary restrictions must fill in the welcome letter and have a parent/guardian sign. Failure to do so will result in alternate food items not being available. See the first post of the quarter for a copy of the welcome letter. |
