This pack of recipes is used to support the teaching of nutrition and life stages as well as providing ideas for Unit 2 linking to skills and the nutritional needs of customer.

These recipes have been used with our Yr 9/10 students as part of a recipe bank that they can they refer to in preparation for their Unit 2 practical exam.

They are based on one hour lessons with pupils working in pairs to help them to understand the demands of practical lessons that use a wide range of preparation and cooking skills. There is a focus on the presentation of each dish at the end of the lesson.

At the end of each half term, pupils are encouraged to choose a dish to cook independently to meet the needs of the consumers in a given brief. At the end of each full term, students in Yr 10 choose two dishes and spend lesson 1 completing mise en place and lesson 2 cooking and presenting all of their dishes.

This is a great way of preparing students for the demands of the Unit 2 practical exam whilst also providing them with a wide range of suitable recipes. It is also a good way to help students understand the range of skills that they are required to demonstrate in order to achieve the higher marks.
