Description

In this unit pupils are introduced to a range of food and dishes, some familiar and some unfamiliar. They explore different ingredients, equipment and utensils used globally, and make an 'international' salad.

Through the study of global cuisine, an appreciation for the wide variety of ingredients, equipment, cooking techniques and eating styles is established. This expands traditional and cultural factors highlighted in Year 2 around bread, developing the Consumer awareness and Food culture threads. The planning and composition of different meals and snacks are developed in Year 4, focusing on real choices made everyday, whether eating in or outside the home.
