Analyse Existing Outcomes

It is good technology practice to analyse outcomes that already exist before you embark on creating something new to meet a need.

Choose 4 different existing meals you have at home and analyse them to work out what is good about them, and what you could improve.

(The "Macaroni Cheese" is just an example, you can delete it or adjust it to suit a meal you commonly have at home.)
