Updated: Jun 10, 2020

asks:

Reduce the salt

Make the dish

Create a recipe card

Stretch & Challenge: Create a nutritional label

 

If you haven't already done so, please have a look at the project launch page to find out about how this project is structured:


I had some fantastic pieces of work sent in to me last week, you should have received some emailed feedback - I am really looking forward to seeing all your fantastic work.


 

1. Redevelop

(I will email and put the original recipe onto the learning platform)

(If you do not eat any of the ingredients then just swap it for an alternative or take it out - I would still like to see your ideas)


Task 1

  • Look at the recipe above and identify the high salt ingredients (I have given you some clues)

  • Then you need to find a lower salt alternative e.g. standard stock cube swapped to a low salt stock cube.

  • You can use your knowledge, google or log into Jenny Ridgewell to see where the high salt items are. (Instructions on how to access the program are at the bottom of this page.)


Real life insight: When I was reducing the salt traffic light I would look out for certain ingredients such as smoked bacon, salted butter. If I could swap these to a lower salt version that was a quick fix. Other things I used to do included reducing the ingredient that was salty (if I could get away with it), removing the salty ingredient (again, if I could get away with it) or find a similar but alternative ingredient (if I could get away with it).


 

2. Make & Rate


Task 2:

  • You will need to make your redesigned paella

  • Take a photo of your finished dish - try to present it well

  • Ask people to rate it with regards to specific sensory characteristics (have a look at last weeks work to find out how).

(If you cannot get specific ingredients do not worry, I would like you to have a go at cooking paella)


 

3. Recipe card


Task 3:

  • You need to create a eye catching and easy to follow recipe card.

  • Stretch & Challenge: This could contain the redeveloped nutritional label which can easily be created on a nutritional program online - have you managed to get a amber or green traffic light on salt?

 

This project can be done on paper or on a computer. You can create a portfolio of your work however you wish. You may want to create a scrapbook that includes your working out and photographs of your food. You may decide to create a PowerPoint of your work. You may email me your work – you choose!

I will be setting weekly tasks and would love to see your weekly progress through pictures or documents. You can email me your updates: kconnett@taptonschool.co.uk

I would love to post updates and celebrate fabulous work on here, I will also be sending home postcards of praise.


Please email this weeks work by first thing on Monday 15th June to kconnett@taptonschool.co.uk

When creating a new dish I would title it:

Your Name Paella

So mine would be - Kalina Connett Paella

That way you know which one is yours if you want to go back to it.
