Level 1 Exploring Culture Through Food Technology
Course Description
COURSE OUTLINE:
Many New Zealanders are enjoying the influence that other countries and cultures bring to the foods we have available for use to eat every day. To celebrate cultural diversity you will be exploring different cuisines from around the world and trialling recipes from different cultures. This will lead to you using your creativity and innovation to design a fusion dish that celebrates Kiwi as well as another culture. You will be designing a globally inspired recipe using an existing, classic kiwi recipe favourite.
The HOS wing will be under renovation from December 2023 till July 2024. As such the cooking room will not be available. Students will concentrate on theory work for terms 1 and 2 and have limited practical lessons in term 3.
