Home Cooking Assignment #6

For the Home Cooking Assignment #6, I made an eggless omelet. This was actually really easy to make. All I needed was some besan (ground flour), all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, parsley, chilli, and onions and instead of regular onions, I used green onions instead. I mice en placed these ingredients and started with mixing the besan and flour together with water. And then I started adding the other ingredients to it. I mixed them all together, heated my pan with butter and added the batter onto the pan. In the end, the omelet turned out incredibly well. I liked the texture, taste and how it tasted with the ketchup. The whole process was very easy and did not take a lot of time and I would recommend anyone making this even though it’s not as healthy as an omelet made of eggs. I would give this recipe a 2/5 because of the lack of nutrition this recipe originally had.

Cooking at Home Recipe #5

I decided to make a breakfast sandwich for this recipe. I made this breakfast sandwich with cheese, carrots, broccoli, feta cheese, mushrooms, spinach, green onions, purple onions, green bell pepper and Brussel sprouts. I mise en placed all these vegetables and set oil to heat up on low heat. Then I added green onions, purple onions, carrots, tomatoes, and green bell pepper. Then slowly as the onion turned brown, I started adding other vegetables. Then, I heated some bread and put all my vegetables inside the bread sandwich. Then I put some Italian dressing on top of the sandwich.

Veggie Frittata

Veggie Frittatas

This recipe was one of my favourites in the class. The safety for this recipe was knives, stove and oven. Our knife skills were tested cutting the different vegetables in all different ways. I would say this recipe was high on nutrition because it has a lot of protein, carbs and vitamins and minerals as well. I chose these ingredients to make the recipe more healthy. A challenge was trying to get the potato to cook properly. It met the product standards. The strengths of this lab were that it was full of nutrition. The process was long and hectic because it took a long time to clean up and cook the recipe. I don’t think I would make this again. I liked everything about this recipe except the fact that it takes a while to cook the potatoes. I would not have done anything differently because I think everything, including the spices and potatoes, was precise.

Basic Creeps

On February 25, 2020, my foods class and I had a lab where we made basic creeps. I did not have any idea what creeps were because I had neither heard of them nor made them ever before. There was not much safety required, we just needed to be careful with the stove. This recipe was not very nutritional because it only had carbohydrates, fats and some vitamins. I chose the recipe and the ingredients as it was one of our labs. Some challenges I had to face were that I didn’t know when and how to flip the creeps. I met the product standards. The clean up went well and I communicated well with my partner. I don’t think ill ever make this again because it’s basically pancakes but pancakes are so much easier to make. I like out its handy and can be eaten in less than 10 minutes and I don’t think I would want to change anything in this recipe.

How Do You Like Your Eggs?

On February 10, my foods class made eggs. We were given the choice of choosing between making 1 out of 6 different types of eggs. I made the boiled egg and it turned out exceptionally well! I think these eggs were a REALLY good way of eating my eggs because I have never made baked eggs before, so it was entirely new for me. I, also, ate these with English Muffins so it tasted even better. I would give this recipe a 2 out of 5 because it was not very healthy.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Me and my entire Foods class made these delicious chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. We made this in the first week of coming back to school after the first semester ended. I learnt that that making cookies is probably the easiest thing we were gonna be cooking in this class. These were supposed to turn out golden brown and consisted of three methods, flour mixture, quick bread, drop cookie. I give it a 3.5 out of 5 because even though it has oatmeal, it isn’t that healthy and tastes a little bad.

Most Memorable Food Experience

Breakfast Sandwich

My most memorable food experience was when me and my dad made individual breakfast sandwiches at home. Me and my dad started with cutting the vegetables. Originally, my dad would not let me cut the veggies because he said I might hurt myself. I was about 8 at that time. As much as my dad did not want me to cut any vegetables, I wanted to do it so bad because it looked so fun. My dad thought about it for some time and finally let me cut some when I started bothering him. But just as I was cutting the last piece of a lady finger, I cut my finger and it started bleeding horribly. I cried so much that day. It was the first I cut vegetables so I mentally made a note to never work with knives again.
