Topic 2: Breakfast items


Breakfast skipping is fairly common in children and increases as children age.
Breakfast can enhance children's diets by positively contributing to daily nutrient
intake, augmenting intake of key nutrients such as fiber and calcium, and
provides an opportunity to help meet the recommendations of the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans. Breakfast also is associated with more healthful food
choices. Cross-sectional studies support that eating breakfast more often may
help children maintain a healthful weight. However, the results from longitudinal
studies are inconclusive and suggest that more research is needed to clarify this
Page

relationship, including understanding the mediating efects of initial weight


status, dieting behaviour and physical activity levels. Breakfast consumption
may provide some benefit toward cognitive function and academic achievement,
but more research is needed. Breakfast is one facet of a healthy lifestyle that
may help contribute to the short- and long-term health and well-being of
children. Health practitioners can promote healthy breakfast consumption in
children and adolescents by addressing barriers to eating breakfast and focusing
on individuals who may be more likely to skip breakfast on a regular basis.

Topic 4: Salads
A salad is a dish consisting of small pieces of food, which may be mixed with a
sauce or salad dressing. They are typically served cold. Salads can incorporate a
variety of foods including vegetables, fruits, cheese, cooked meat, eggs and
grains. Garden salads use a base of leafy greens; they are common enough that
the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads. Other types
include bean salad, tuna salad, fattoush, Greek salad, and somen salad.
The sauce used to a flavor a salad is commonly called a salad dressing; wellknown types include ranch, Thousand Island, and vinaigrette.
Most salads are served cold, although some, such as south German potato salad,
are served warm. Some consider the warmth of a dish a factor that excludes it
from the salad category calling the warm mixture a casserole, a sandwich
topping or more specifically, name it for the ingredients which comprise it.
Salads may be served at any point during a meal, such as:

Appetizer salads, light salads to stimulate the appetite as the first course
of the meal.

Side salads, to accompany the main course as a side dish.

Main course salads, usually containing a portion of heartier fare, such as


chicken breast or slices of beef.

Dessert salads, sweet versions often containing fruit, gelatin and/or


whipped cream.

home to many cultures, many of which have their own characteristic cuisine.
Ingredients common to many cultures in the East and Southeast regions of the
continent include rice, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, chilies, dried onions, soy,
and tofu. Stir frying, steaming, and deep frying are common cooking methods.
While rice is common to most Asian cuisines, diferent varieties are popular in
the various regions. Basmati rice is popular in the subcontinent, Jasmine rice is
often found across the southeast, while long-grain rice is popular in China and
short-grain in Japan and Korea.
Curry is a common dish in southern and southeastern Asia, however it is not as

Topic 6: Cooking for fun- Western dishes


European cuisine, or alternatively Western cuisine, is a generalised term
collectively referring to the cuisines of Europe and other Western countries,
including that of Russia, as well as non-indigenous cuisines of Australasia, Latin
America, North America, Southern Africa and Oceania, which derive substantial
influence from European settlers in those regions. The term is used by East
Asians to contrast with Asian styles of cooking. When used by Westerners, the
term may sometimes refer more specifically to cuisine in Europe.
The cuisines of Western countries are diverse by themselves, although
there are common characteristics that distinguish Western cooking from cuisines
of Asian countries and others. Compared with traditional cooking of Asian
countries, for example, meat is more prominent and substantial in serving-size.
Steak and cutlet in particular are common dishes across the West. Western
cuisines also put substantial emphasis on grape wine and on sauces as
condiments, seasonings, or accompaniments.
Many dairy products are utilised in the cooking process, except in nouvelle
cuisine. Wheat-flour bread has long been the most common source of starch in
this cuisine, along with pasta, dumplings and pastries, although the potato has
become a major starch plant in the diet of Europeans and their diaspora since
the European colonisation of the Americas. Maize is much less common in most
European diets than it is in the Americas; however corn meal, is a major part of
the cuisine of Italy and the Balkans.

Topic 7: Cooking for fun Western Snack


A snack is a portion of food, often smaller than a regular meal, generally
eaten

between

meals.

Snacks

come

in

variety

of

forms

including

packaged snack foods and other processed foods, as well as items made from
fresh ingredients at home.
Traditionally, snacks are prepared from ingredients commonly available in
the home. Often cold cuts, fruit, leftovers, nuts, sandwiches, and the like are
used as snacks. The Dagwood sandwich was originally the humorous result of a
cartoon character's desire for large snacks.
Beverages, such as cofee, are not generally considered snacks though
they may be consumed along with or in lieu of snack foods. A beverage may be
considered a snack if it possesses a substantive food item (e.g. bananas, kiwis,
or strawberries) that has been blended to create a smoothie.
Plain snacks like plain cereals, pasta, and vegetables are also mildly
popular, and the word snack has often been used to refer to a larger meal
involving cooked or leftover items. Six-meal eating is a form of eating that
incorporates healthy snacks in between small meals, to stave of hunger and
promote weight loss.
With the spread of convenience stores, packaged snack foods became a
significant business. Snack foods are typically designed to be portable, quick,
and satisfying. Processed snack foods, as one form of convenience food, are
designed to be less perishable, more durable, and more portable than prepared
foods. They often contain substantial amounts of sweeteners, preservatives, and
appealing ingredients such as chocolate, peanuts, and specially-designed flavors
(such as flavored potato chips).

Conclusion
Throughout learning this subject, I have gained many beneficial and valuable
lessons. I learnt the proper behaviour and attitude one should possess during
preparing and cooking activity. I aware the personal hygiene is most important
part during preparing food to avoid food cross contamination. Before start
Page

Cooking for young children

cooking, we need to make sure all equipments are washed and table hood is
clean. I also learnt diferent materials and tools to use and their functions as well
as the right way to use them.
As we know, kitchen area could be a dangerous and hazardous place. During our
kitchen classes, we are exposed to slippery floor, heavy equipments, sharp tools
and also electrical machines. Every person should be aware of these hazards,
and helping each other by reminding to put safety first. Besides that, we also be
careful to use knife when cutting food in order to prevent injury.
During cooking activity, ready menu might have slight alteration depending on
the condition and suitability of the food. For example, we may add more salt and
pepper when we are not satisfied with taste of the dish. Therefore, it is important
to concentrate on the condition of the food and make use of our sense of taste.
The flavour is depends on person because some person dont like pepper and it
could add little while some person like pepper and they can add more.
Each menus have diferent methods of cooking. The benefit I receive by learning
this subject is that I have identified and learned variety of cooking methods. We
were given the opportunity to use diferent methods of cooking apart from what
has been written in the standard menu. Then, after learned the cooking method,
we are excited to practice in the home. The mother also needs to make the
variety of cooking method so that children get balance diet and proper nutrition.
I would like to thank my lecturer, Chef Asma for giving guidance and knowledge
and for allowing us to explore and apply diferent techniques. I am also grateful
for having cooperative and fun classmates throughout this subject.
