1Year 8 Food Technology Work Book MPo Feb 2010
Year 8
Introduction
This workbook contains information to help you gain knowledge and understanding in design and technology and to make progress through the National Curriculum Levels.
Your work will be marked according to the schools Assessment for Learning policy, which is aimed at providing you with feedback to help you understand what you have done well and how you can improve your performance. You will be given three reports during the school year and these will include a National Curriculum (NC) level so you can track your progress.
As you work through the lessons you can tick the NC Levels that you have completed. To achieve a particular level you will need to have ticked almost all the requirements for that level.
Presentation of Your Work
Write the date on the work you are completing Underline headings with a ruler Write neatly using black or blue pens Cross out mistakes neatly Draw neatly using a sharpened pencil Use colouring pencils to help you communicate your design ideas Do not doodle on your work Do your best!
Organisation
1. In order to help you learn and to record your work you must have sufficient writing and drawing equipment for each lesson.
2. You must use your link book to record when you have homework and this includes buying and bringing in the ingredients and containers needed for your practical lessons.
3. You must learn the routines for practical work and ensure that you are able to quickly store your bags and blazer and complete your personal preparation including putting on an apron, tying back long hair and washing your hands.
4. You should always keep an eye on the time during practical lessons as work must be finished before the end of the lesson and all equipment washed, dried and carefully put back in the correct place.
5. If you are absent for a lesson you must see your teacher to find out what work you have missed and if you have to prepare for a practical lesson.
6. If you do not organize ingredients for practical work you will be given written work to complete. It is not possible for you to ‘help’ other students as there may not be enough for two people to complete and with written work you will be covering the programme of study for the subject.

How many times a day do you think about what you eat or drink? Next time you eat, stop and think for a minute or two. What are you choosing? Why are you choosing it? How is it affecting your body?
Doctors, nutritionists, scientists and dietitians have been studying diets in the UK and other countries for a number of years. They have found that there is a very strong link between the foods we eat and the diseases from which we suffer. They have found that poor diets and lifestyles lead to premature death from heart disease, strokes and cancer. Other illnesses that are also linked to poor diets are; obesity, tooth decay, diverticular disease and varicose veins.
The Government has published guidelines to try to encourage people to make healthy food choices. Two of these are Tips For Eating Well and The Eat well Plate
1. Base your meals on starchy foods2. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables3. Eat more fish4. Cut down on saturated fat and sugar5. Try to eat less salt - no more than 6g a day6. Get active and try to be a healthy weight7. Drink plenty of water8. Don't skip breakfast
The eatwell plate shows how much of what you eat should come from each food group. This includes everything you eat during the day, including snacks.So, try to eat:
plenty of fruit and vegetables
plenty of bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods – choose wholegrain varieties whenever you can
some milk and dairy foods
some meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein
just a small amount of foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar Look at the Eatwell plate to see how much of your food should come from each food group. You don’t need to get the balance right at every meal. But try to get it right over time such as a whole day or week.
Try to choose options that are lower in fat, salt and sugar when you can.

Pasta, rice, noodles and potatoes all have something in common. They are classified as “starchy foods” and they all come from plants. We need starchy foods to give us energy and to fill us up. A little protein is also found in these foods.
What is a staple food?
Staple foods usually form the largest part of a meal. Different countries, are well known and celebrated for their staple foods. For example, China’s staple food is rice, while Italy’s is pasta.
Benefits of starchy foods
Starchy foods are the best way to obtain energy. Most starchy foods have the added bonus of containing vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. (NSP). Another benefit is that they are relatively cheap.
Starchy foods can be bland – lacking in flavour. Many ready prepared meals contain starchy foods and because food producers want to tempt us to buy their products they add flavour, colour, texture and other nutrients to the starchy foods usually in the form of a sauce.
The foods below are examples of starchy foods with a sauce.

Now you know that we need to eat more starchy foods you are going to plan for a practical lesson where you make a pasta bake.
Look at the groups of ingredients below to help you design your ideal pasta bake.
Pasta75g of any shaped pasta such as;
Shells Spirals Tubes
Sauce Small tin of condensed soup Small jar or packet of cheese sauce mix (read the
instructions on the packet as you may need to bring milk too)
Small jar tomato sauce
Filling Fresh vegetables e.g peppers, onion, sweetcorn,
mushrooms Tinned fish e.g tuna, salmon Cooked meat e.g. ham, sausage, bacon, chicken Cooked quorn, vegetarian sausage
Topping Breadcrumbs Grated cheese Crisps
In the space below draw a cross-section to show what your pasta bake will look like
Make sure you label your drawing clearly and colour it in
Make a note of the ingredients you will need to bring in for your practical lesson and the date it will be completed.
It is important that you bring in an oven-proof dish as well as your ingredients to cook your pasta bake in.
Food technologists often look at existing products when they are preparing to design and make a product. This helps them to find out what works well and perhaps find out if there is a gap in the market that they could fill.
You will be looking at some small cakes that have been bought from a supermarket and comparing them with a home-made version. Look at the information below about cakes bought from Sainsbury’s and answer the questions.

A star profile or diagram is used by the food industry to describe the looks and taste of food. It is very useful for you when you are finding out about other peoples opinions of your food, or if you are assessing a range of foods. It is an easy way to compare products as you can quickly see the differences on the star diagram. You can compare several factors at once such as sweetness and juiciness of a product. These are called sensory descriptors.
A star diagram is similar to a bar chart and uses a scale of 0-5, where 5 is “very” and 0 is “not at all”. For instance is something is very fruity it would be marked as a 5.
How to draw a star profile
Think of at least 4 sensory descriptors to describe how you want you product to look, smell and taste. You also need to think what the texture will be like when it is eaten. Look at the word bank to help you decide.

Draw the lines of a star and write the chosen descriptors at the end of the points of the star. Mark each line of the star with a scale of 0-5. Taste a small amount of the food and decide how far it agrees with your sensory descriptor and mark a point on the scale. When all the arms of the star have been complete join up the points with a straight line. When you have finished you should write some notes on the attributes of the food and how it could be improved. For instance if you gave a score of 5 for saltiness, you may wish to reduce the amount of salt or salty ingredients in the product.

You are going to learn about how designers can create a prototype product when using pastry as a casing and a range of ingredients as a filling.
Types of Pastry
There are several types of pastry available to the food technologist. These are listed below. Write down some typical products that can be made using the different types of pastry on the table below
Type of Pastry Typical Products Available
Shortcrust Pastry
Puff Pastry
Filo pastry
Choux Pastry
Hot Water Crust Pastry
Suet Pastry
Things to Think About
When developing a new product the food technologist can experiment with different ways of shaping and forming the casing and with a range of different ingredients for fillings.
Your task is to design a new product and prepare a prototype in a practical lesson. You may choose from three different types of pastry – Filo, Shortcrust and Puff pastry.
The properties of each are slightly different and you will have to take these into account when developing your product.
Shortcrust PastryCan be rolled out and cut into different shapes. Not so good for items such as spring rolls as it can be difficult to cook all the way through the different layers when rolled up. Can be used as a base and lid to hold fillings like a pie. Can be glazed using milk & egg mixture to give a golden brown finish. Usually has quite a high percentage of fat (50%)
Filo PastryVery thin and needs careful handling. Does not need to be rolled out. You will need to use several layers and use a pastry brush to apply vegetable oil between the layers so that the pastry doesn’t burn in the oven. This pastry will not rise when baked. Has quite a low fat content (8%). Very brittle when cooked.
Puff PastryCan be rolled out and cut into different shapes. Not very successful for rolling up into shapes as it tend to rise quite a lot. Can be used as a base and lid to hold fillings but the base may not cook successfully so using it just as a lid is more successful and you could use shortcrust as a base. Some mince pies are made like this. Quite a high fat content (50%).
FillingsIt will be more successful to use precooked fillings as the pastry does not take long to cook. They can be savoury or sweet fillings. They should not be too wet or this can make the pastry casing soggy. It is important not to overfill the item with filling as it may boil out and spoil the finish.

Design Brief
The school canteen has decided that it needs to improve its range of pizzas. It has asked you to conduct some market research and design a new range of original and exciting pizzas and make and test one of your ideas.
In order to successfully accomplish this task you will need to do the following;
Analyse the design brief Gather research information Produce a design specification Plan and make a product Evaluate your work
Analysing the Design Brief
Underline the key words in the design brief. These will form the basis of a brainstorm to identify ideas and research tasks.
Gathering Research
You can do this in two different ways.
1. Carry out a questionnaire to ask your friends what they think is important about pizzas
2. Look at existing products to see what food company’s have used to make their products by studying the information on pizza packaging and menus. You may even have the chance to examine and taste a pizza from a supermarket. This is called disassembly
Analysis of Design Brief
Designing a Questionnaire
When you want to find out what people think, you ask them questions. A questionnaire is one way of organizing this information. The questionnaire must be well planned to get useful information that will help you generate some design ideas.
Tips on designing a questionnaire
Write an aim for your questionnaire, this should explain to people what you are hoping to find out.
You will probably need to ask around 10 questions
The questions should be clear - it is a good idea to get a friend to check them to make sure they make sense.
Either hand write your questionnaire or word process it.
You can ask open or closed questions. If you ask closed questions it is often a good idea to give people some options for the answers. A couple of open questions can be included where people are free to write their own answers – sometimes these take more time to collate afterwards.
Use tally boxes for your closed questions as these help organize your results neatly.
Your questionnaire may look something like this;
1. Are you male or female?
Male Female
2. Are you vegetarian?
Yes No
3. What type of base do you prefer?
Thin crust Deep Pan Stuffed Crust
Disassembling A Pizza
Disassembly means to take something apart to learn how it was made and to provide ideas for improvement.
You can do this in a variety of ways. You can look at the packaging for pizza products that are sold in the shops, you can look at information on supermarket websites and you can buy a pizza and cook it and evaluate it as well as looking at the packaging information.
Using either packaging or an actual shop bought pizza try to fill in the boxes on the diagram below;
Producing a Specification For The Pizza You Are Going To Make
A specification provides information about the product and it must meet the needs of the design brief. It is basically a list of rules about your product.
Using the information you have gathered from your questionnaire and the disassembly exercise, write a design specification for the pizza you are going to make. Use the table below to help you.

What will it smell like? (use descriptive words)
How much could you sell it for?
How would you package it?
What nutrients will it contain?
Making a Pizza
You can make a pizza in a variety of different ways.
You can buy a ready made base and tomato sauce topping and then add cheese and toppings of your choice.
You could buy a packet of pizza base mix(this is a yeast dough and will require proving time) and tomato sauce topping, cheese and toppings
You could make the pizza base yourself, use a jar of tomato sauce topping, cheese and toppings
The level of skill you apply depends on the ingredients you use. Making the base is the most skillful as it involves weighing and measuring, combining raw ingredients, rolling out and shaping. You should be at a stage now in food technology where you are able to assess your own ability and you may choose any of the methods to make a pizza.

Rice facts
It is the staple diet of about half the world’s population – 3 billion people eat rice
Farmed for 10,000 years. Grown in moist, hot climates like India or China
Rice is an aquatic plant so fields are usually 30cm (a foot) deep in waterTakes 5,000 litres of water to grow 1kg of rice
The grain is made up of 3 main parts: germ, bran + endosperm
Milling removes the outer layers. It can be ground to form flour
Thousands of varieties:3 main groups: short, medium or long grain.
Long grain: narrow, pointed (5 times longer than wide), firm structure, keeps separate in cooking. Bran and germ removed. Basmati rice is a long grain variety. Only grown once a year in N.India, low yield. Soaked before cooking to remove excess starch.
Short grain: rounded, soft texture, sticky + glutinous when cooked.
Arborio is Italian short grain rice used in risottos.
Brown rice: Husk removed, retains bran > more fibre, takes longer to cook
Whole grain rice: Unprocessed, high in fibre
Wild rice: Seed of an aquatic grass. Grey -brown in colour, nutty flavour.
Cooked in boiling water so starch absorbs the water + swells
Low fat, high carbohydrate, gluten free
Processing:
Grain enclosed in thick husk Husk removed> brown seed = brown rice > more fibre + vit B Grains milled > remove germ + bran > whole white grain Cooked in boiling water > starch absorbs water > grain swells
gelatinisation > over cook > stick together
Easy cook > treated with steam prior to milling > partly gelatinised
Pre-cooked > after milling> cooked then dehydrated> reheated in water
Ground rice > small broken grains> ground > flour
Cooking:
Only reheat once, cool quickly, can cause food poisoning
Long grains basmati + jasmine have fragrant aromas
Short grain – Arborio > risotto, paella > grains absorb flavour
Easy cook rice: has been par- boiled. Subjected to steam-pressure process to retain nutrients, makes it harder.
Rice left in pan in which cooked will begin to stick together
Valuable vitamins + minerals can be lost if rice is rinsed after cooking although many people do this to get rid of the starchy water

Although he did not realize it, Stone Age man was probably the inventor of the pizza. He mixed together ground wheat and water to form a type of dough, and cooked it in discs on or between flat stones which had been heated up in the fire. Primitive man continued to bake bread in this way until the time of the ancient Egyptians, who invented the conical shaped stone oven which was similar to the modern pizza of today. They used to bake their bread by sticking them to the hot outside walls of the oven, turning them over when they fell off and cooking them on the other side. The Egyptians left no record of having made pizzas, but there are references to a type of pizza made by the Greeks and Romans, which they topped with olives, honey or various other herbs and spices.
The name “pizza” probably originated in Naples around 1000AD where flat discs of a bread-like substance were first called “picea” and the “pizza”.
Pizzas, as we know then today, can be traced back to the 1700’s. They appeared long after the introduction into Europe of the tomato which originated in Peru. Previously this “strange fruit” was used as an ornamental plant. It was later discovered that it could be put to better use. At first, pizzas were made and sold by the roadside on stalls and it was not until the early 1800’s that the first Pizzeria appeared in Naples, where people could sit down at a table and enjoy their favourite pizza accompanied by a glass of local wine.
Though well known, it is worth telling the famous story about the most renowned pizza – Pizza Margherita. In the late 1800’s Queen Margherita was resident as she was every summer, with her family at their lodge in Capodimonte Park in Naples. Having heard so much talk about an innovation called pizza, she summoned the most famous Neapolitan pizzaiuolo (pizza-maker), Don Raffaele Esposito, to court and demanded to taste this new dish, The pizzaiuolo was so proud and honoured to show off his art that, apart from preparing the usual toppings which he served nightly in his pizzeria he invented a special one, topped with mozzarella cheese, for his royal guest. (Some say it was Don Raffaele’s wife’s idea!) Queen Margherita was so taken with the special pizza that Don Raffaele named the pizza “Margherita” to commemorate the occasion. It continues to be one of the most popular pizzas in Italy today.
The majority of pizzerias in Italy are still family businesses, but chains of pizzerias have sprung up all over the western world. Naples has, however, remained the home of the pizza and even in Italy pizzas made outside this city tend to have a different flavour.
The art of pizza making depends not only on the ingredients and the handling of the dough but also on the type of oven used. A real pizza should be baked in a wood-fuelled oven next to the charcoal embers. This is what gives pizza its typical flavour. It is a great shame that present legislation in some countries does not allo0w the use of open-fire ovens in restaurants
