Artifact: Butter Chicken and Naan


Core Competency: Communication CC

I chose this recipe because I am very fond of butter chicken and naan, so making it from scratch was very exciting, and during this lab I used quite a bit of Communication. To avoid confusion before the lab started I talked with my group to figure out who was doing what task and what everyone’s job was. Even though we have struggled with finishing on time on cooking labs, we were able to end with time to spare because we worked in tandem. While cleaning up I used the Communication CC so that we could work as a group and be efficient. In conclusion I demonstrated proper communication during this lab by making sure everyone knew what they needed to do, offering, and asking for help when I needed it.

Food Studies 10 Core Competency Assignment

I think the best lab we did in this class were the lemon blueberry muffins. The muffins had the perfect ratio of citrus and blueberry because we used our critical thinking skills and knew that we weren’t huge blueberry fans so we didn’t put the whole amount of blueberries into the recipe. The contrast between the sourness of the lemon and sweetness of the blueberry made for really good overall flavour. While preparing the food we shared our ideas, and to keep used dishes to a minimum we shared some of the measuring tools. This is why this lab was my favourite lab that we have done so far in the Food Studies 10 class.
