THE BILLERICAY SCHOOL YEAR 8 FOOD TECHNOLOGY. RECIPES FOR HEALTHY EATING 1
Dear Parent, Welcome to the Billericay School Food Technology department! Your son / daughter is about to start his / her Food course. He / she is expected to bring in the ingredients for each dish to be made, along with a suitable dish or container for the finished product. We will be making a different product in each of 8 lessons. In the interests of keeping organised for the lessons, this booklet contains lists of all the ingredients you may need to stock up on for the practical lessons, as well as a brief overview of the scheme of work your child will be following in the next 6 weeks. If you wish to make any of the recipes at home, they are obtainable from the Design Technology page of the main website in pdf format These may be printed. (file path; website/subjects/design & Technology/ food technology, then year group..) Lost recipes booklets and work books may also be found here for printing. Some ingredients which are used in very small amounts, and which you may not have at home, are available from the Food Department store cupboard and are listed overleaf. (These are marked in the recipes with an * in the recipes). We make a small charge for baking ingredients used when the student may have forgotten an ingredient. We teach Healthy Eating in all aspects of Food Technology, and try to ensure that the students do the same; this also fits in with our Healthy School status. Fresh foods are used wherever possible, and they should return home to you as a tasty dish or product batch. May we please ask that you do not pre-prepare or pre-mix any of your child s ingredients at home. These skills form the basis of the lessons in year 7 and 8. They cannot learn new skills and processes if it has been done for them! Thank you. I hope you enjoy the products that your son / daughter will be making.
