Recipe procedure

Last week, I sent a letter home outlining our recipe project.  By now, students will have spoken with you and selected a simple recipe to practise making at home, under your supervision.

The week of November 16th, students will begin writing a draft of their recipe in class.  Until then, we will continue writing up a variety of different procedures together in class.  Students are learning that a good procedure includes a title, a list of materials (or ingredients for a recipe), and clear steps that are in order.  

In the meantime, please provide lots of opportunity for your child to practise making their recipe at home.  When they write up their recipe in class, they will need to know what ingredients are required. They will also need to know the steps involved to make the dish.

A sample recipe may be;

BANANA SPLIT
Ingredients
vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream
one banana
whipping cream
chocolate sauce
one cherry

Steps
1. Peel the banana and place in a long bowl.
2. Put one scoop of each ice cream into the bowl beside the banana.
3. Cover the ice cream with whipping cream.
4. Pour chocolate sauce over the whipping cream.
5. Decorate with one cherry on top.

To help with translating ingredients, you may find word reference translator helpful.

Bon appétit!
