Carrot cake cupcake (Food)

Last we for Cooking we made Carrot cake cupcakes.
The ingredients for this is...
- The key ingredient - Carrot

- Sugar (White)
- Flour
- Salt
- Carrot
- Cinnamon
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- oil
- Egg

Overall the texture of the end result looked good, it looked a bit smooth
The smell was soft but strong
The taste of it overall was really good, I'm not a fan of carrot but having it in a cupcake made it a lot better. The tase was very exceeding that you couldn't taste the carrot but that was the important part as the carrot was the secret ingredient.

I overall enjoyed the making of this and would defiantly make it again.

Spring rolls (Food)

Last week for our practical we made Spring rolls with rice crackers???
First, we had to gather our ingredients and then a bowl and fill it up with water, then we set the Rice cracker in the bowl and waited for 1 minute for it to soak before taking it out and making our roll.

When you tried folding the roll with the food it felt kinda weird...
and once it dried up it felt like skin
But the oddest thing was trying it when you bite down on it, it feels like your eating a thin piece of fish skin.

The texture though looked good, like a little see/through present
The smell, I couldn't really smell it at the time... sadly.
Though the making of the food was super easy to make, which made life a lot easier.

Smoothies (Food)

Last week Thursday was our practical, the day where we enter the kitchen and make food. While last week we made Smoothies or rather Fruit shakes.
We were all put into groups of what our Smoothies would be, one was a dairy-free Smoothie, another one was a strawberry Smoothie, a Banna Smoothies & my group a rainbow Smoothie, And each group had a named their Smoothies after what they were making. Our group's name was Rainbow Blend.

And after each group made their Smoothies we went and tested them all. Though I couldn't really drink them due to my gag reflex when it comes to some foods. But even though I couldn't drink it we still got some good feedback from the other students and from the teachers.

(Feedback from teachers)
-  Love I can taste the blueberries
- Would be really yum cold!
- Amazing! loved how sweet it was without any Sugar/Honey, Lots of different fruit that worked well together!!
- Darn that's good <-- (Nice feedback)
- Amazing absolutely delicious.

In the end, I'm pleased with the feedback we got from the teachers because in the end even though I couldn't drink it, I felt like I made a big achievement.
And next Practical I hope to be able to eat or drink what we make so I can give feedback of my own

Steak/Beef? sandwich

Last week for our practical on Thursday we made steak sandwichs but instead of steak we used beef, the bread was small buns with oats on them.

In my sandwich, I had mayo, Sauce, lettuce, beef (Chopped up) along with a bit of cheese

As always when we work in a kitchen in a group of 4 we must work together meaning we need to take turns doing something in the kitchen.

What I thought about our teamwork last week was good, we all got to do something, I grated some cheese, got the lettuce and dried some of the dishes and stuck the rest away.

The tasting of our food - I loved it, I don't really eat oated bread but I really enjoyed making and eating the sandwich as it had a different outcome I thought it would have.

For an instant, I couldn't really taste the oats which helped a lot and it also made the food better as I know even if I couldn't taste it I was still getting something good in me.

And overall I give the result of everything together including teamwork and food taste a 9

Spaghetti + Meatballs

Last week on Thursday I was finally present and got to make food with everyone else.

Last week we made Meatballs with Spaghetti.

Our sources were already ready for us which was great as we only had limited time to do everything before period 4 ended.

Our teamwork overall was great, Everyone did something, I did the drying of the dishes and I also helped roll up the meatballs before they were stuck in the oven for cooking, What I liked about our teamwork was that there was always someone free to go over if the teacher asked for one person from a group to come over to her so she could show us what to do next.

For serving our food we were given small white bowls.

-Food taste-

Overall I was pleased with the food because even if it had stuff in it I probably wouldn't stick in Spaghetti it still tasted amazing. the meatballs were something new for me as the normal meatballs I would have would just be meat, while the foods we made had meat and bread and pretty sure something else but I forgot.

I was very happy with the result.

Chicken stir fry (Food)

Last week in Food we made Chicken stir fry but since I wasn't here that day I never got to try it, so I'm going to be putting down what other people of my team thought.

I asked if it tasted good I got a response from one of my teammates as were set into groups and she said she liked it as it had a different sort of taste.

I then asked how Teamwork was my reply, yes the teamwork was good, meaning that I'm guessing everyone had a go, as in the kitchen we only had limited time to make the food and then eat it.

So hopefully this week I'll be at school so I'll be able to give a better response and with my own thoughts of the food and what I liked about it.

Vegetarian Nachos (Food)

Since its, a new semester that means new choices to do for options and one of them happens to be food. We have this thing where on Wednesday we would do Chromebook work and then Thursday we would do the actual cooking. And last week we made Vegetarian Nachos

-What did I think of our teamwork-

The teamwork for making this product was okay. In our making of the food, I did the dishes and the stirring of the food while it cooked

In all everyone pretty much had something to do, and there was always someone doing something for the food

The communication was okay, there wasn't much talking but we still had to talk to each other to find things that we had no idea about or to transfer to something else (E.g one person was stirring and then they went to get a seasoning so someone took over the stirring of the food)

After all of that, the outcome of the food looked delicious. Especially the way it was laid out on the plate.

After we had finished plating our food we had a couple of visitors (Teachers) come in and try our food and then rank them from 1st to last and give us their personal opinion. 

I felt pretty proud of myself when our team got 1st place more than once (Another team got a 1st place by a teacher) I felt proud because of all the hard work our team had done to make the food.

my personal opinion on the food is something I can't say as I never ate it due to a strong gag reflex to some foods. but I would have loved to have eaten it as it looked yummy.

Kebab cooking time!!

(Welcome to another post, I today as your host I shall tell you everything that went on today from the                                                                    amazing room, 11 & 12)

For the last past weeks room 11 & 12. Have been doing something to do with nutrition.  First we had to do chores before we could do anything fun that fun thing was cooking....cooking,  Here was the twist to what we were going to cook on of the teachers had a hand full of paper each group would pick one and that one would be what they cooked.  We got Kebabs.

We each had something to cut and do so it was not unfair for others, I did pine apple Aiden did onions,  some did the meat, & some did something else but I forgot what it was.

I didn't really like touching sticky stuff so I only did it one handed,  to cut the pineapples.  Not really my type of thing to have to cut sticky stuff but oh well.
