LO 3 – Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience.
In Global Cooking, I deal with children’s safety on a regular basis and we have to follow certain rules to keep them safe like adapting recipes because we cant use stoves and fire. A major component of cooking is using fire and heat, which made it very tough to choose recipes from different cultures for the kids to learn. I spent my weekends trying to remake recipes using only the oven for heat which was a weird experience. I made pancakes using the oven, cheese bites in the oven and so on. I had to write down all-new recipes for the kids and plan PowerPoint presentations, to understand the heritage behind each dish I introduced to them. It was helpful to me as well as it improved my skills in the kitchen when it came to adapting to certain appliances. I took on the initiative to teach no heat cooking and told my parent leader about it and we taught the children how to make sushi.
