Food Studies 

Our Year 8 Introduction to Food Studies students have been building on their skills, learning how to cook a bolognaise sauce as well as cooking their pasta al dente. The combination of the two resulted in a delicious spaghetti bolognaise with the only addition needed, a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. 

Their skills were further tested in preparing a beef burger ensuring that the meat patty was cooked correctly, under controlled heat so it was not only tasty, but safe to eat.

Our Year 9s have been busy exploring meals from other countries.  We prepared Indonesian Nasi Goreng and following on from this the students will research, plan and implement a dish from a country of their choosing.  All students will then complete a self-evaluation of their efforts.

In Year 10 Food Studies our students have been studying differing dietary conditions including gluten free, lactose free, FODMAPs and finally Type 1 diabetes.  The students were challenged with counting the carbohydrate content of a mild chicken curry with basmati rice that they had made.  What began as a mild chicken curry in some cases however, became spicier as some students were very creative with their combination of curry spices.
