This module of sessions aims to build on this confidence and independence, offering students the opportunity to learn new skills and techniques which lead to preparing and cooking a range of main meals. It also provides you with the opportunity to assess students’ practical capability for the end of this block of sessions. You could use the practical observation sheet to help.

This is the final unit in this module, i.e. sessions 6 – 10. By this stage students should be confident in the cooking area, know the use of many different types of equipment and becoming more creative in their cooking. During this unit, students consolidate their understanding by cooking a main meal component. You may wish to observe students’ practical work using the practical observation sheet. The result of this observation, along with their previous practical work, goes towards their ‘licence to cook’.

This session allows students to build confidence in using the hob. Although the hob may have been used in Session 3, this session concentrates on its safe use. In addition, it consolidates knife skills through the preparation of a variety of different vegetables. As with other sessions, it also provides opportunities to assess students’ practical capability. You could use the practical observation sheet to help. During this session, students will make either a vegetable chowder or minestrone soup.

This session is about students making a simple curry dish in one pan. It demonstrates the use of simple pieces of equipment in the preparation of a dish that students could easily prepare for themselves, their family or friends.

During this session, students will make either a croque-monsieur or pizza toast, something which they would enjoy making at home.

This is an introductory session about students getting to grips with cooking and the working area. Some students may have had experience handling food before; others may not. This session allows all students to become familiar with, and therefore more confident in using, the cooking area. It also provides you with the opportunity to assess their practical capability, e.g. handling of food and use of equipment. You could use the practical observation sheet to help. During this session, students will make either a fruit fusion or dippy divers.
