Description

This unit develops pupils' food skills through the context of food from around the world. Pupils learn about the structure of a recipe, how to portion foods evenly and, with supervision, use heat in cooking.

Through an international context, pupils' food skills progress via accurate food portioning (cutting and measuring), to achieve even cooking. Food skills are reinforced from cooking experiences in Year 2, with additional skills being introduced. The use of heat expands dish repertoire, allowing for more complex recipes to be made. The threads of Food preparation and cooking, and Food hygiene and safety, are further developed and refined in Year 3.
