Burritos


Reflection:

This creation was a one off dish where we had variety of ingredients at our hands. The ingredients included a Spanish rice, zucchini, peppers, corn, beans, cheese/feta and a porchetta. This dish was very full of flavour and colour. Some of our methods included meat and rice cookery. We also practiced our knife skills when cutting or slicing the vegetables. I loved this dish! If I were to make this again I would like to attempt making the tortilla from scratch to add some challenge. Overall, this one off dish turned out to be something great.

Spinach Dip with Rustic Bread

Reflection:

For Ms. Bolli’s birthday each group had to make an appetizer to share with teachers and their peers. my group decided to make spinach dip with homemade bread. The spinach dip was creamy and delicious, creating great the epitome flavour. When letting the bread for the dough rest for a day it ended up becoming slightly dry, therefor making the bread dry when done making. This was a mistake that can be easily not be made in the future. Overall this dip turned out to be an amazing appetizer and a great hit!

Buddha Bowl


Reflection:

We got the opportunity ti create our very own Buddha bowl, that incorporates proteins, veggies and grains, creating a very vegetarian based meal. Some of the things I included in my buddha bowl were things such as: roasted carrot, apple, feta, brown rice, zucchini and much more. This was a very simple dish to make and would highly recommend it for anyone who wants a quick lunch on the go! It was colourful, bright and tasted delicious!

Chicken Salad Sandwich

Reflection:

For this recipe we created our own chicken salad to make into a sandwich. We were left free with our ingredients in the sandwich, except for lemon, mayo and chicken as our main base ingredients. I decided to create similar flavours to a Waldorf chicken salad. Luckily, I was able to match the flavours fairly well. For next time I would try making a home made bread, to add more difficulty to the recipe.

Broccoli Cauliflower Soup

Reflection:

This Broccoli Cauliflower soup was perfectly creamy and delicious. The dish had great flavours and was very rich, which made it the perfect cream soup. To fully create the soup we had to puree it to make it combined. It was interesting to do because we got to decide how chunky or smooth we wanted it. Overall, this was a great soup and I would happily make it again.

Mexican Tortilla Soup

Reflection:

For this recipe, our group got to choose what type of soup we wanted to create. My group decided on a Mexican Tortilla soup. This soup was accompanied many flavours and spices, giving it the ultimate taste. When making this soup again, I would consider adding chicken to the dish. I also may try a different type of tortilla, as the one we used easily disintegrated in the soup prior to eating. Over all, the soup as a whole wasn’t amazing, but was was able to hit your taste buds in the right spot!
