Lab: Food-Intolerance-Friendly Meal
You are preparing a food-intolerance-friendly meal based on the food intolerance you have chosen. Cooking and/or baking must be involved in this recipe. In your journal entry, make sure to:
1. Define the food intolerance you have chosen.
2. Explain how you changed the original recipe so someone with this food intolerance could safely eat it. What are you using as a substitute?
3. Before you made the meal, how did you predict the substitution will compare to the removed ingredient?
4. After you made the meal, how did you find the substitution changed the recipe? How are the taste, texture, and colour compared to a recipe normally using the triggering ingredient? Watch this video for some substitutions you might find useful.
Please download this document and fill it in as you do your lab. You will need to complete three sections for your lab sheet.
LAB INFORMATION
1. For this lab, you choose your own recipe. Fill in the lab sheet with your ingredients, equipment, and procedures from your chosen recipe. Then you will gather everything that you need and make your food product.
PHOTOS
2. For all labs, you need to take a minimum of 8 pictures of you preparing this product.
- You must be clearly visible, including your face, in at least 4 of the pictures. You can take selfies or have a friend or family member take photos of you in action.
- You must clearly show the steps you have taken to make the product. Take photos of yourself measuring the ingredients, dicing, sifting, cutting in, folding, rolling, whisking, flipping, etc.
- You must have photos of your final product. Take an image of it as a whole. Then have a final presentation image where you plate your product so that it is ready to serve. An example would be taking a photo of creamy vegan butternut squash linguine on the stovetop. Then neatly scoop some onto a decorative plate. You can add side dishes and a nice place setting for your final presentation shot.
EVALUATION
3. You must fill out an evaluation of your product. This includes an evaluation done by yourself and an adult. Be sure to use descriptive words and discuss the process, the product, expectations, previous experience, and anything else you observed while making this product. Use your five senses in your descriptions. Be detailed and creative with your word choice. Ask the adult who is tasting your food to do the same in their evaluation.
