Frittata

Making and Sharing Reflection

My favourite recipe we have made so far in foods is the frittata. While making this recipe I incorporated feedback given by Ms. Bolli and group members. Tasting this dish while cooking it was good for identifying if there was enough seasoning. I also accomplished this by using different techniques to elevate the flavour. I believe this dish is one of my favourites because you can add so many different vegetables to the dish to elevate it or simplify it to ones preference. If I was to make the frittata again I would add some bell peppers and maybe some basil. Depending on the chef you could also take this dish into different cultures incorporating different ingredients.

Prompts used:

1) Create food product, incorporating feedback from self, others, and prototype testing.

2) Identify and analyze new design possibilities, including how they or others might build on their concept.

Core Competency Reflection

• The ways I communicate while cooking differ from how I communicate during family events in these ways: In foods I communicate clearly and positively. Giving lots of information and updates on what steps I’m on or completed. During family events I’m not telling people what I’m doing every moment and I talk more jokingly.
• Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include the persons skill set, their confidence with the task and how efficiently they can complete it.
• One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to communicate before we start cooking making sure everyone understands the steps. Also by keeping everyone organized by loosely assigning steps to complete.
• One goal I have for myself is to try as many new foods as possible to expand my palate and see how many foods I actually like but have never heard of. I will do this by taking as many opportunities to try new foods.
