Year 9AE 2 course meal planning activity is masterchef quality!

WOW!

After spending the last couple of weeks designing and planning their 2 course meal based around the Dietary Guidelines for Australians my Monday year 9 Food Technology class worked collaboratively in small groups to produce some awesome meals. They focussed on the folowing guidelines for children as a basis for selecting their main course and dessert:

Children should be encouraged to:

•         Eat a wide variety of nutritious foods.

•         Eat plenty of vegetables  (incl.legumes) and fruits.

•         Eat plenty of cereals (including breads, rice, pasta and noodles), preferably wholegrain.

•         Include lean meat, fish, poultry and/or alternatives such as legumes and nuts.

•         Include reduced fat dairy foods and/or alternatives.

•         Choose water as a drink!

•         Alcohol is not recommended for children.

Care should be taken to: …..

•         Limit saturated fat and moderate total fat intake.

•         Choose foods low in salt.

 

•      Consume only moderate amounts of sugars and foods containing added sugars.

•         Look after your child’s food.

The teamwork award went to Anita, Elisha, Dilay, Erin and Aleksandra for some very cooperative group work to produce a delicious Lemon Chicken and Potato, Asparagus dish and a splendid Strawberry & Mango Parfait! Here it is.....

 

 

Coming in below at a close second was April's team that included Harry, Teagan and Courtney. They achieved today's presentation award for a visually appealing Sweet and Sour Chicken noodle dish as well as an Apple Strawberry crumble. Well done team!

 

And let's not forget the wonderful surprises down below from Leon's talented team of Johnson, Arella and Karyn who created a tasty bolognese bake with the best strawberry crepes i have ever seen made at EDSC! Great work team!

 

Zhi lin put in a great effort supporting his team of girls that included Zoe, Jessie & Jeanne to make this tasty special fried rice and a tray of delectable egg tarts served with fresh mango! A lovely combination that included effective garnishing and decoration!
