Keywords
Nutrition information - information about the energy and nutrients provided by a food
Informed choice - making a decision, based on your needs, when you have the information or knowledge to guide you
Dovetailing - tasks fit together easily, resulting in a better use of time
Common misconception
When making two recipes at the same time, you should cook them separately in order. This takes longer, but the recipes are made well.
When making two dishes at the same time, read both recipes first to decide which order to complete the steps in each recipe - this is known as dovetailing. Dovetailing results in a better use of time, where tasks fit together easily.
Teacher tip
If time is tight, pupils could work together to make the burgers and flatbreads, or use ready cooked pitta breads. Suggest to pupils that they could include salad with the burger.
