I chose the North/South American theme. How has your teacher ONLY introduced you to section C (planning final dishes) now?? that is soo crazy, i literally finished my coursework weeks ago (anyways enough of me getting outraged lol).
Here is what I did for my planning final dishes:
1. Have 8 (or more) possible dishes in your section b
2. See if you have included all of them in your research section (section a)
3. Choose which THREE dishes you want to make in the final 3 hour exam (make sure you choose something that is of high skill and has a lot of processes (if not then you can add a side for example to boost that skill), that links to the trial dishes (by same ingredient for example). It has to be either: 2 desserts, one savoury OR 2 savoury, one dessert
4. Explain step 3 (e.g. say why you choose it like: i choose to make a lemon meringue pie as it involved me to make a meringue which is diffcult to do as it involves me to separate whites from yolks and blah blah blah (you get the gist)
5. Make a time plan : basically list all the things you are going to do in the 3 hour and what you are going to do in each step and how long do you think each step is. (e.g. at 8:30 am (or whenever you exam starts) Slice peppers thinly for the taco. I will make sure to use a green chopping board to avoid contamination - this is a HSH (or health, safety and hygiene point - you need to list this throughout as well as QP- quality point (which is a thing you do to improve one of the sensory words of a dish) (e.g. Soak the peppers in salted cold water so it keeps it colour for appearance) and lastly, C- contingency (what will you do if something doesn't go according to plan) (e.g. If peppers are rotten, I can use some pimentos)
6. Make sure to list key items you will need in the the final
Hope you can finish you coursework in time and I hope this helps,
don't mind the excessive brackets
