On today's lesson we were cooking our multi-cultural foods which were assessed by Mrs George. the country that we chose was Germany and the recipe that we found was fruit-cream roll.
here is the recipe of our dessert. We've used the different website with the recipe but the roll is the same with the one on this website and the recipe is really similar to the one we've used. so here is the recipe:

Get all the ingredients ready and pre-measured. Line a rimmed 15" X 10" cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Step 2: Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, corn starch, and baking powder.

In a separate bowl, whip the 3 egg whites with 3 tablespoons of cold water until stiff.

Slowly whip in 1/2 cup sugar.

Stir in the 3 egg yolks.

Gently fold in the flour mixture until everything is incorporated.

Spread batter on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes until wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean.

Place sheet of waxed paper over damp cloth towel. Sprinkle with a little bit of sugar.

Turn our baked cake onto waxed paper. 

Step 3:

Immediately peel off the parchment paper.

Trim cake edges if needed.

Step 4:

Lengthwise roll up the warm cake and waxed paper together.

Set aside to cool.

Step 5:

When cake has cooled, beat whipping cream and "Whip it" and icing sugar until stiff.

PLEASE NOTE: If "Whip it" is not available, you can use 1/2 cup of icing sugar instead. You must use either the "Whip it" (or other brand of whipped cream stabilizer) or the icing sugar. Using regular sugar to sweeten will not keep the whipped cream from getting runny.

Unroll the cold cake carefully.

Spread with jam if desired. (You can heat the jam slightly in the microwave to help spread it.)

Mix the fruit with the whipped cream.

Spread the whipped cream/fruit over the cake.

Step 6:

Now, carefully re-roll the cake, using the waxed paper to help lift the cake.

Sprinkle with additional sugar by putting a teaspoon or so of icing sugar into a small sieve. Tap the sieve lightly to let the icing sugar "float" onto the cake.

The only problem that we had was that when we tried to roll our cake, it broke in some places. but when we sliced it it and put on the plate it looked natural. 

We served it with a lit of bit left over cream and sprinkled icing sugar. 

for our assignment we were also supposed to serve the table the right way. when we've done so, we took some pictures of our roll. and we also have some photos from the process of cooking. here they are

On today's lesson all the assignments had started. Our class was divided into two groups, first group was cooking their multicultural food today and our group is going to cook tomorrow. So, for the second group of girls, today's lesson was a theory lesson. I was just doing my history.

On today's lesson we were cooking the burgers that we were preparing the recipe for. We chose Mexican chicken burger and ordered all the ingredients two lessons ago. So when we came in to the class, we found a tray with our names on it and all the ingredients in it. We just needed to collect some more  ingredients such as oil and coriander. We had to cut and prepare all the ingredients for the patties and then make them round shape and then start cooking. My partner was cooking the patties and I was preparing the bread, lettuce and the sauce. Then we cleaned all the dishes. The burgers are really really tasty, even though on the picture they look a bit messy. 

Here are our mexican chicken burgers:

On today's lesson we did theory. We were preparing for our assignments. We had to make a work flow plan for our cooking lesson on Tuesday next week, so we could manage our time and get all the work done in time and still have some time for cleaning and eating. 

For the work flow plan we had to write all the ingredients, all the equipment that we need and then divided the procedure of making the dessert into two, so we all knew who is doing what and this would help us manage our time. 

We also send the document to both of us, just in case, so both of us have it.

on today's lesson we were cooking chicken sang choy bow which is chicken with nuddles served on the lettuce leaves. To cook this dish we were using a wok. Chicken went firs, then all other sauces and ingredients. When all of the ingredients were added, cooked and ready to be served, we put the lettuce leaves into the containers and then this meat filling on top of the leaves. It tasted good and my partner and I liked it.
This is a picture that we got from today's lesson

On the last lesson we were cooking chow mein. This is Chinese style dish. We had a lot of ingredients that had to be pulled, cutter and cooked. We also had some meat and sauces, spices. To cook everything, we used electrical fry pan. Then we were cooking all the ingredients in a special order. That was what we got at the end.

On today's lesson we were in a classroom doing theory. We got the task to find a burger recipe and make it relate to any country we want by adding the ingredients of this country. Or we could just go to the web site www.taste.com.au and find any burger recipe from any country. My partner and I decided to go to this website and choose a recipe. We found couple of really good burgers, but we chose "Mexican Chicken Burger". 

That's the recipe of the burgers and its picture:

• Ingredients
• Nutrition

• 500g chicken mince
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup taco sauce (see note)
• 1 1/4 cups fresh white breadcrumbs (see note_
• 1/2 cup coriander leaves, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 4 damper bread rolls, split, toasted
• 4 green oak lettuce leaves
• 3/4 cup grated tasty cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream

• Notes

1. Step 1

   Combine mince, red onion, 1/4 cup taco sauce, breadcrumbs and coriander in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Using clean hands, shape mixture into four 2cm-thick patties. Place on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Step 2

   Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook chicken patties for 4 minutes each side or until cooked through.

3. Step 3

   Top damper bases with lettuce, patties and cheese. Combine remaining taco sauce and sour cream. Spoon over cheese. Cover with damper tops. Serve.

   
   
   
   But because we are allowed to use the maximum of 125g of meat and cook for 2 people only, we had to cut the amount of meat to 125 and then divide all the other ingredients by two, as the recipe is for four servings and we need just two.
   When we finished working out the right amounts of ingredients we need, we sent it to Mrs George so she could get us the ingredients for the actual class.

Term 4, post 1

On the last lesson we were cooking Cornish pasties. My partner moved schools this term, but I'm a buddy for a new girl. She is doing hospo too and she is in my class. So she is my new partner now. So we collected all the ingredients and started pilling all the vegetables. When we finished doing that, we used food processor to cut them into small pieces. Then we had to add meat, salt, pepper and mix everything together. Then we had to prepare the dough by cutting it into the squares. Then we had to put the filling on top of the dough and fold it the special way. We had to put some egg on top of them, so they will be of nice brown colour when cooked. Then we put it into the Owen ( 200°C) and cook it for 10 minutes, change temperature to 180°C and cook for next 15 minutes. That's what we got at the end of our class.

The only problem we had, was the fact that no one from our group of four used food processor before, but then we asked Mrs George, she showed us the procedure and then we tried it ourselves. It wasn't hard at all, so we learned how to use it. It was really tasty, especially with tomato sauce.
