Chili and Corn Bread

My Reflection

This lab was a two day lab. On the first day we made our chili and on the second day we made our corn bread. In our chili we had the choice of using beef or quinoa, I chose beef. I didn’t find the chili that hard to make because the recipe wasn’t that complicated. I would make this recipe again but I would add more tomato sauce because it was a little bit dry. I thought that the chili tasted really good because everything was fully cooked, and it was flavorful and spicy. Making the corn bread was also easy because there was just a few ingredients. I thought that the bread turned out well because it was crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. I would also make this recipe again.

Thin Crust Pizza

My Reflection

This lab was spread out over two days. On the first day we made the dough which didn’t take that long and then on the second day we got to construct our pizza. I found it kind of hard to roll out the pizza dough to make it thin because it kept breaking. On my pizza I added tomato sauce, salami, basil, and cheese. I thought that the shape of my pizza wasn’t that great but it tasted quite good. If I could improve on anything, it would be to cook the pizza for a bit longer because my crust wasn’t really crunchy. I would definitely make this recipe again.

Risotto

My Reflection

I have ate lots of risotto before but have never made it. Making this dish required a lot of patience because we had to cook the rice for about 25 minutes while adding broth to it. In my risotto, my partner and I added mushrooms because they go well with it but there are also different foods you can add in it to. My rice turned out well because it wasn’t too mushy and it was fully cooked and it was rich in flavor. I definitely would make and eat this again but I would cut the mushrooms into smaller sizes and add different flavors to.

Buddha Bowl

My Reflection

I really enjoyed this lab because we got to design our own bowls. Buddha bowls are very visually appealing so I decided to use colorful fruits and veggies and use a variety of knife cuts to meet this product standard. In my bowl, I put in mango, carrots, spinach, roasted red pepper, celery, avocado, sunflower seeds and brown rice which was under all the veggies and fruit. I would eat this again but try different veggies and fruit and not roast or cook a veggie because I didn’t really enjoy how it tasted.
