What I've learnt in term 1

Last term in cooking we had done a lot of research about safety and hygiene in the kitchen. I also learnt a lot of recipe's, most of them you had to be really careful on the instructions because if you miss one thing the whole recipe would fail, the measurements also had to be exact or there would be no flavour or the mix wouldn't rise.

The last lesson we had was making cupcakes. I know I've already blogged about how we did in the cupcake recipe. Cupcakes are the easiest recipe and are not that hard to fail. Our group checked at the recipe to make sure we didn't miss anything so that the recipe wouldn't fail. 

What I've learnt in that last lesson was that you have to work in a team with those that you are baking with, because if you don't work as a team then the recipe wouldn't turn outright. There are certain techniques on mixing the mix, how to measure properly and how to control the texture of the mix. Also if you are baking something else you have to make sure that you go to what the instructions say.

Here are all the finished cupcakes:
