Communication

For this food lab we made Thai Curry. I developed in the communication core competency by communicating with my partners on what vegetables they would like to use in the recipe. There were many choices of vegetables to use, and we had to decide which ones we all agreed with. I listened to their preferences and we also listened to each other’s. When plating the food, I also communicated with them that my serving size would be smaller than usual. So we arranged each other’s plates and communicated if we wanted less/more curry or rice. I think this core competency is important because when working in groups, it’s a sign of respect to communicate your choices and actions to group members. This helps everyone stay on the same page and reduce mistakes/miscommunication. I think what we could improve on for next time is for everyone to show up early to class so we can plan before as to during the lab when we’re cooking.
