REFLECTION…

For this lab we had to make our very own Greek dessert for Greek week, so we made pecan snowball cookies, I had never heard of this dessert before but I was excited to being able to make it then the try it for myself, plus I’m a sucker for desserts so I’m always down to try a brand new one.

The recipes only had seven ingredients and only took about 10 minutes to make and 20 minutes to bake, it also made a total of around 18 cookies.

For this recipe we had to use the electric mixer to help make the mixture very creamy to help give it the softer texture on the inside and get a bit of a harder texture on the outside after it’s done baking.

What went well for me was the communication with my group so we were able to get them in the oven pretty fast, our time management skills were also pretty good too and we had time to spare near the end.

Next time i need to work on being a little more organized.

Overall i was really happy with how everything turned out and i’m glad that i was able to make this awesome dessert, I would definitely make this again because i would like to make this for my family

For all these reasons i would give this lab 5/5 stars

For this special term lab test we had to create a lava cake on our own as a test to see how well we can prepare a tasty dessert independently. This was a new dessert to me, which is something I’ve heard of but never eaten or made before. I was also pretty nervous when preparing for this recipe because I often have trouble working on my own or having to make certain decisions on my own in the kitchen, but i felt that this lab would be very helpful to me to show how well i can cook on my own.

What went well for me, was my confidence was pretty good where i found myself following my instincts more and not having to ask many questions about how to do the recipe.

I need to work on improving on my time management skills a little bit because i did a pretty good job on time when preparing the cake but i took a little longer when cleaning up afterwards, so i can always try to improve just a little bit for next time.

Overall, i was really proud of how it worked out and i was proud of myself to have done this lab and how i was able to create a good looking and tasty dessert in the process. I would definitely make this again because i really enjoyed the taste of it and i would like to make it for my family one time.

For these reasons i decided to give myself 5/5 stars

In this lab we had to make delicious and easy banana muffins, I enjoyed making them and overall i think they turned out pretty well. During the lab i think what went well for me was being able to work fast in the kitchen and communicating with my partner, because of that we were able to get our muffins in pretty fast within the time we had. But i think next time i have to work on paying more attention to the recipe at hand because even just one mistake can mess up an entire recipe or just end up making them not the way you want them too. But overall I’m pretty proud of the final product and i would say they met most of the product standards, but maybe next time i would like to try and make them a little more moist. I would definitely make these again because there fairly simple and it would make a great treat to have after dinner and it would be cool to try and add different things to the muffins to make them even better like chocolate chips to make them a little sweeter.

REFLECTION…

In this simple lab to kick of the school year we were put to the test not only to be able to bake delicious cookies but to get used to our units and the equipment in it. We also had to be able to communicate and work well with our partners because these are people that were going to being working with and in class with throughout the whole semester.

During the lab I think that my communication with my partner and my ability to follow the recipe were both things that went well for me while making these cookies. But I feel that to make me better during labs and just better in the kitchen overall I think I need to learn to be a bit faster and to have a bit more confident when making the recipe. Because in class we are pretty limited on how much time we have to make the recipe at hand. Overall I think that this was a very successful lab and the final product turned out pretty well but maybe next time I would like to try and make the cookies a bit softer cause it’s how I like my cookies.
