Paprika-dusted Pita Chips with Salsa

In our next lesson we were making paprika-dusted pita chips with salsa. I was working in a three with Ally and Eva but Ally and I had to leave early (like a lot of other girls as we had to go somewhere) so we didn't get to finish making our food but Eva finished it for us, nicely, and brought it to us in form. I really enjoyed making this dish while I was there, although I think we should have put less chilli in our salsa as it ended up tasting a bit too hot. The rest of the salsa was nice though. Our pita-chips turned out really tasty too expect for the very few bits that got a bit burnt. It tasted and was a great dish on the whole though.

Finished Food

Orange and Poppy Seed Muffins

In this lesson we were cooking our first thing for the term, orange and poppy seed muffins. When we came in, Mrs Baker briefly told us what we had to do and then we got to work using our recipes. I was working with Leukie and we worked well together ending up with great muffins. The muffins weren't very hard to make, the only thing, was that we were a bit rushed for time, like some other groups and got them into the oven a bit late. They still turned out really good though and we had a lot of fun making them. While everyone's muffins were in the oven we did the washing up which wasn't the best part but it still had to be done. Overall, I think we all enjoyed the lesson and I'm looking forward to next week's lesson.

First Lesson

In our first hospitality lesson, sadly, we didn't get to cook anything so we did some other work instead. During the lesson, we met Mrs Baker (our teacher for the term) and she is very nice. We then set up our hospitality blogs and some of us started to do our OnGuard Tests on the internet. We also learnt about measuring while cooking which was interesting. It was a good first lesson that I enjoyed and I couldn't wait until the next one where we would start cooking!
