Bridge: Have you ever looked at any sort of food display and thought, “Wow, that looks so cool, I wonder how they did that?”, or “I wish that I knew how to do that”, and then thought that food really can be an art form?
Learning Objectives: By the end of this mini lesson you should be able to clean/peel a mushroom and know how to make at least one design on a mushroom, as well as have a general idea about garnishes and gain some basic culinary skills, such as knife skills.
Teaching Objectives: To get everyone involved in the task and to spark an interest in the field of culinary arts and to pass on some of my knowledge and skills.
Pre Test: Does anyone know how to make any garnishes out of various fruits and or vegetables? What sort of cooking/culinary skills do you have?
Participation: Hand out knives and mushrooms, give a quick demo of what I am going to get them to do and have them “carve” the mushrooms for themselves.
Post Test: The post test for this lesson will be more of a self-evaluation of the students work. If they feel that they were successful in completing the task and are happy with how their final product looks and feel that they could do this again at home on their own, then that is good.
Summary: Give more ideas about making simple garnishes using other foods by showing a short video.
Materials Needed: Four Pairing knifes
Mushrooms (2 per person)
Cutting boards (1 per person)
Time Needed: approx. 10min.
