Food Technology Year 9 Recipe Booklet 2014-2015 Introduction Design and Technology is all about designing and making products for anyone and everyone to use. Products can be made from paper, metal, plastic, textile, food and a whole range of other materials. In food technology we will, of course, be designing and making with food as a material. As you work through key stage 3 (years 7-9) you will need to build up your skills and knowledge of food as a material. We have tried to include as many practical activities as possible, but this may not always be making a product to take home, it may be an experiment, a tasting analysis or evaluating products already on the market. Whatever you do will be helping you to learn how and why food products arrive on supermarket shelves or on restaurant menus. All of the recipes in this booklet can be completed within the time of the lesson, including the clearing up of the work area. The clearing up at the end of the lesson is an important part of your learning and you are constantly assessed by your teacher on your time management, hygiene and safety practices. You teacher will go through the recipe booklet each week with you in time for your next practical lesson, so that you can organise your ingredients to bring into the lesson. Participating within the practical lessons is compulsory. You may not make all of the recipe s during your Food module, however we have including some that you may wish to try at home. In all of the recipes we have indicated the healthiest option ingredient however as a department we encourage students to adapt recipes/ingredients to suit individual preferences. E.g. Wholemeal plain flour can be adapted to white plain flour etc. Walton High School For hygiene and safety reasons all students are expected to tie up their hair if it is long. Students are not allowed to wear nail varnish for practical lessons. We hope that you enjoy the course.
A word about measurements Metric measurements have been used for the recipes in this booklet but because not everyone uses metric, imperial measurements have been added. Generally in cooking 1 ounce (oz) = 25 grams (g) 1oz = 25g 2oz = 50g 3oz = 75g 4oz = 100g 8oz = 200g 12oz = 300g Liquids are measured in litres parts of litres are millilitres. Imperial measurements are measured in pints parts of pints are fluid ounces. 1 fluid ounce = 30ml (millilitres) ¼ pt = 5 fluid oz = 150ml ½ pt = 10 fluid oz = 300ml 1pt = 20 fluid oz = 600ml Temperature conversion chart Degrees Celsius tsp = teaspoon tbsp = tablespoon Gas Mark 140 1 150 2 160/170 3 180 4 190 5 200 6 220 7 230 8 240 9 Fruit Pie Pastry *8 Metal or oven proof plate 250g/10oz plain flour *Tin to carry home in 65g/2.5oz hard margarine 65g/2.5oz lard Oven Temp. 180oC Pinch salt (optional) Gas 5 Cooking Time 25-30 minutes Filling 500g/1 lb stewed or chopped fruit (you may choose not to stew your fruit) 50g/2oz sugar (optional) milk to glaze Light oven 180oC/Gas 5 To make pastry Place flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.
