Evaluation During experiment 1 in the kitchen, good and bad experiences were encountered whilst preparing and cooking. The following dish that was made during the 1 hour time frame was Vietnamese Rolls. Some faults encountered were when rolling up the rolls. They were very messy and hard to roll up and a lot of time was wasted cleaning them up. Another fault was the time management. As the rolls had to be made in 1 hour, it left little time to clean up the bench. Some ways to improve for the next cooking lesson is to be more organised and create a cleaner roll making it easier to roll up. The fact that the dish was successful and completed in the time frame, was a positive outcome overall. Some ways to improve for the next cooking lesson is to be more organised and work out what should be cooked first and prepared first.
Photographs Below are the photographs from my first attempt at making Vietnamese Rolls. These photos were taken the night before experiment 1 as my phone was getting repaired and so I would not have had the chance to take photos during class. I took many photos but only included some that I thought were more important including: the first step, assembling the meal, cutting some ingredients and the finished product.
