REMEMBER: 1.Planning your time is very important. Refrain from cooking anything too

complicated.

2. If ingredients for your dishes are perishable (poultry, vegetables), approach a teacher in the kitchen staff room during the morning and ask whether it will be alright to put your ingredients in the kitchen’s fridge before your lesson.

3. Make sure your dish is at least 70% vegetables.

4. As long as you are able to follow my stages 1-3 without any misconceptions, you are guaranteed a high chance of doing well.

5. The project is about food styling. Make sure you style the food and not merely just cook it and leave it there to be photographed. Put blu tack, ice,glue, paint…whatever you like. It doesn’t have to be edible !
