Creme Brulee French Toast

 

Making and Sharing Reflection

To explain the learning that went on in the creating of this food item I’ve chosen “create food product, incorporating feedback from self, others, and prototype testing” and “critically reflect on their design thinking and processes, and identify new design goals” as promotes. For the first one the food product was for the dish to be sweet, eggy, creamy on the inside and golden brown on the outside. The topping was to taste like caramel and the sauteed apples to give it a tart crisp. My feedback from me to me is that it turned out exactly as product standards, but I could have made it look more appealing. Others told me it looked good, but I know I could have made it a lot better. I only made it once so there wasn’t a lot of the prototype testing, but I will be sure to make it again in the near future and make it look more appealing. For the second promote, my thought process when designing the look, I wanted to put all the topping on top of the bread with apples layered evenly on top. Though that makes fore even bites I could have put the apples first in a flower design and drizzled the topping sauce on top. New design goals I have for myself are to think more creatively and try making more floral, shape and asymmetrical designs.

Core Competency Reflection

The ways I communicate while cooking differ from how I communicate at friend hangouts. When I am cooking, I am a bit of a perfectionist and want everything done properly while when I am with my friends, I am more leaned back.

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is by talking everything over before getting started.

I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see us helping each other out and proper communication.

The promote I want to work on the most is “when I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I…” I work well enough with people I don’t know but I don’t always feel comfortable with them and feel anxious, which makes me second guess myself more when cooking. I need work on this talking more to people.
