Why this why now
Cuisines are a set of cooking traditions and techniques, associated with a specific culture, region and ingredients. This recognition provides insight into cooking and recipe choice, fulfilling consumer tastes for more international cuisines, while honouring traditional UK dishes. This work builds on previous learning in Year 7 around the threads of Food culture, Consumer awareness, and Food origins and provenance. During Year 9, pupils further reflect on food culture, and how food forms part of our identity, heritage, tradition, custom and celebration.
