Design Brief: Design and make a new dish for Toni’s Trattoria
Sequence of Learning for Teachers
In this project, children apply their knowledge of cooking and nutrition to design and make a main course pasta Italian meal. Children investigate the different places where people ‘eat out’ and conduct market research to find out about favourite restaurants. They research the traditional cuisine of Italy and find out about different pasta meals. Using this research, children are tasked with adapting a tomato sauce recipe to create a pasta-based main course. They apply a range of cooking skills to make their pasta dish and organise a taste test session to evaluate the food that they have made. Using the results from the taste test they take on the role of a restaurant critic and review some of the pasta dishes that the class have made.
This knowledge, skills and understanding is delivered through the following six sessions:
Some activities / sessions can be re-arranged or delivered in different ways in the learning sequence to allow for whole-class teaching and/or small adult-led sessions to take place at the same time.
