Family Dinner

This is Your Brief

Before you begin work, study your brief carefully to make sure you are clear about the outcome expected, and the product specifications.

Your final outcome must meet each specification.

Make a copy, save into your Google Drive folder.

Test INGREDIENTS and choose the best ones

Experiment and test some different ingredients to get the best outcome. E.g. you could test different varieties of beans and lentils, or different vegetable options to use in your meal.

• red kidney beans

• pinto beans

• white beans

• navy beans

• black beans

• chickpeas

• lentils

• red lentils

Find out which makes the best outcome. Consider: colour, taste, cost, nutrition, texture, cooking methods required.

Test PROCESSES and choose the best ones

For example, you may try a number of ways of blending/combining ingredients, for example:

• food processor

• blender

• potato masher

• crushing...somehow

• whisk

• wooden spoon

• stick-mixer

Run a trial to find out which processes work best for your outcome.

Consider: what equipment you have available, what is the most efficient time-wise, what gives the best results (texture, taste, appearance.)

Choose your TOOLS and EQUIPMENT

Choose the best equipment for making your dinner outcome.

Consider what is available, what saves time and what gives a consistent quality outcome.

Trialling your outcome in context

Trial your dinner in its intended social environment (the people who will be interacting with the outcome), and physical environment (where the outcome will be situated).

Record these trials, and the results of them in your assessment. What did you learn? How did this inform your prototyping and product development? What decisions did you make as a result?
