Year 8 Food and Nutrition – Pastries

Each ingredient you use in a recipe has a specific function, especially in pastry making. Pupils in Year 8 have been learning about the function of ingredients in savoury pastry making through a variety of practical cooking tasks (shortcrust pastry pasties, tomato and basil tarts and puff pastry sausage rolls) whilst making sure they meet the dietary requirements of their target client. Pupils have also learnt how food science helps to make food safe for consumers to eat.
