Things we learned from this week's practical lesson

Print your recipe - don't try and use your phone - phone recipes are now banned



Check that the recipe meets the criteria



Check the number of people the recipe serves



Don't use American cup recipes



Weigh your ingredients at home



Make sure you read the whole recipe before you decide to make it



Will it cook in the time you have





Watch a skills video to help you with the cooking process http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/category/cookery

If you need to reduce the quantity of the recipe – reduce every ingredient by the same proportion



Use the recipes on the Q drive – they are the correct size for the GCSE lessons and time . They can be adapted to suit your chosen dish
