This session is about students using the creaming method to make a simple cake. It provides the opportunity to use a hand-held electric mixer, although you may wish the students to make this mixture using a wooden spoon. Weighing and measuring are important aspects of this session, as quantities need to be precise in order for the cake to have a good finish. As with other sessions, it also provides you with the opportunity to assess students’ practical capability. You could use the practical observation sheet to help.

This session is about learning how to make a classic tomato ragu (sauce), which can then be used in many different ways in the future. It revises how to chop an onion.
