Chicken Yakitori

In this lesson, we made chicken Yakitori, which is japanese chicken skewers. I cut up the chicken, while Kerys made the sauce. Once the sauce had thickened up, and I placesd the chicken and green onion on the skewers, we put them straight into the electric frypan, after coating them with the sauce. We wanted to give the chicken as much flavour as we could, so when they were cooking, we would add mroe sauce. When we had a taste of it, the extra sauce really helped. Making this was really nice to eat, especially for lunch.

Theory

Today in this theory lesson, my partner and I looked at a different variety of books about the Italian cuisine. most of the books were filled with just recipes, but we did find this one helpful book about all the cured meats, cheeses, herbs and what they do in their holidays. It also gave us some background information on how they used it. I hope we can get a lot from this one book.

Spaghetti Bolognese

In this Hospo lesson, we made Spaghetti Bolognese. This was the 2nd thing in our recepie book for the multicultural theme. We had a thicker type of fettucini, which was quite nice. I chopped up all the ingrediences finely, and added them in the fry pan with the mince and liquid. Once it was done, my partner and I ate it, and it was quite good, although my partner added too much oregano. I can't wait to eat it.

Chow Mien

Today, we made chow mien, an Asian type of stir fry. My partner and I didn't add celery, because neither of us like the taste, and we only added half of the cabbage, to give the stir fry a bit of texture and crunch. We prepared almost everything, but the carrots were accidentally placed in the fry pan before the cabbage was cut, so we had to put it on a very low heat. When we added the curry, it smelt quite strong. As soon as the chow mien was finished, I tried a bit. It had a lot of curry flavour, but it tasted quite nice.

Theory

Today in our theory lesson, we received our multicultural assignment. We were discussing what we will be doing in the assignment, and we watched a video to hopefully help us get us on the right track. I became partners with Jenny, and we were brainstorming some countries that have inspired Australian 'fusion food' cuisine. I hope we have our country decided by the next lesson.

Anzac Slice

In this hospo lesson, we made ANZAC slice, a remake of the ANZAC biscuits. We had to make some extra mixture, as we had an extra person working with us. We made the mixture first, and put it in the saucepan. When they became cool, and were cut, I tried some, and they were very tasty. I can't wait to make some at home for mum and dad.

Breakfast prac assignment

For my breakfast assignment, I decided to cook my partner strawberry pancakes and a berry thickshake. I firstly concentrated on making the pancake batter and cooking them first, as I knew making the thickshake wouldn't take that long. I had to cut up a punnet of strawberries thinly to place in the batter. I got a 1/3 cup with the batter and poured it in. Once all the batter was gone, I made the smoothie and poured it into 2 glasses. I tried to garnish the pancakes with strawberries, and tried to make sure my presentation looked good. My partner and I both enjoyed eating the strawberry pancakes and berry thickshake.
