Lab: Gourmet Breakfast
You will be creating a gourmet meal for breakfast or brunch for this lab. You will likely need to do more than one recipe to create your signature morning meal. Your recipes need to be grade 12 worthy--meaning it needs to be more than a fried egg, a bowl of cereal, and a peeled orange. Try a recipe you haven't tried before such as ham and cheese quiche, buckwheat waffles, eggs Benedict, etc. The breakfast needs to be nutritious and include a protein, grain product, fruits, and vegetables.
For this lab, you will need to set the table and take a picture of your fancy spread with a nice table setting.
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 recipes. Fill in the lab sheet with your ingredients, equipment, and procedures from your chosen recipes. 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 the different steps in creating your breakfast.
- 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 photos of the turkey and leek quiche and buttermilk biscuits fresh out of the oven—and the finished fruit salad you made. Then find a nice plate to present your well-balanced breakfast to serve to a guest. You can even add a nice napkin and a drink. Remember, for this lab, you will also need a photo of your table setting photo with your breakfast food.
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.
