RECIPES TO INVESTIGATE...

Experiment with different recipes to get an idea of suitable ingredients and processes for your family dinner. Search your own...

Record your recipe development ideas in this template:

L1 Meal Development

TEST TEST TEST and SELECT

Test different ingredients, equipment and proceses.

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.

Google Classroom Assessment

Open the Assessment in Google Classroom. Write down which ingredients & processes you trialled and what your results were.

Write down equipment you have chosen to use.

Write down the ingredients and processes you have chosen to use.

MAKE YOUR PROTOTYPE

Refine your specifications if you need to. Check them with your teacher.

Make Your Prototype Meal

Use the materials, components, tools and equipment you selected to make your prototype to address your brief.

Write down how you made your prototype in the Google Classroom Assessment. Include photos too.

TRIAL YOUR DINNER IN CONTEXT

Social environment - people who will be interacting with the outcome (your household).

Physical environment - where the outcome will be situated (your kitchen/dining room.)

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?
