Year 10 Home Economics Option students preparing, cooking and serving a Cottage Pie

This meal was done as part of the lesson Senior Citizens in Society. The students were challenged to create a meal that is ideal for an elderly person as well as low in salt and easy to eat.

Before the practical session, the students had to fill in the preparation sheet where they had to outline the reasons for choice. They analyzed the recipe and made sure to include important minerals such as Calcium in their meal. Calcium is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones  and teeth.
