Welcome Back to School!!

Well, Miss Botts' Foods I students have been working diligently through the Safety and Sanitation Unit in order to properly and safely prepare foods in class and at home.  The students were able to put their knowledge to the test with their first cooking lab last Friday. 

Thanks to Mrs. Jett-McVea, we borrowed a very delicious recipe for Pizza Pockets.  YUM!! They were so quick and easy and perfect for a first lab and getting acquainted in the kitchens.

Here are some photos:

About Foods I

We will start out learning about safe and sanitary food preparation methods and procedures before moving onto the essential basics of preparing foods (ex: reading a recipe, proper use of equipment, measurements and conversions, reading food labels, etc.). We will then move onto the principles of etiquette, the understanding of food choices and how they influence our health, and finally we will pull all of our knowledge together to plan and prepare healthy meals and snacks using skills acquired throughout the semester.
