<span style="font-family: Neuropol,sans-serif; font-size: 36pt;">Brazilan carnival

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arno Pro',serif; font-size: 14pt;">The Carnival of Brazil is an annual Festival held forty-six days before Easter. <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Carnival was then exported to Brazil by the Portuguese, who organized masquerade balls, held by members of the elite, while processions with decorated carriages in allegorical themes took over the streets, in the mid nineteenth century. That was the beginning of the today famous Samba Parade at the Sambodromo. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arno Pro',serif; font-size: 14pt;"> Social significance: <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Carnival is the largest party in the world. The consumption of beer accounts for 80% of annual consumption and tourism receives 70% of annual visitors. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arno Pro',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Religious significance: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arno Pro',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Carnival backgrounds come from Christianity. Carnaval marked the last opportunity to celebrate and make use of special foods before Lent, a six-week period where no parties or other celebrations were accepted, with people refraining from eating rich foods, recalling the biblical account of the forty days that Jesus spent in the wilderness. Lent serves to mark an annual time of turning to God and religious discipline.

It was also very easy to make the cheese twists very long because the pastry was so easy to stretch and the cheese stuck on the pastry well. It was also easy to cut and did not stick to the bakeing paper. Not all my cheese twists came out the same because some had more cheese than others; some had herbs and spices on them and some of them where very long. When I took them out of the oven some of them where stuck together because the cheese melted through the pastry. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Overall the cheese twists where delicious and they were very full of taste and they were very easy and quick to make.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">When we made the sweet surprise it was very easy and fast. We started by oiling the pastry with oil spray and then cut out shapes such as flowers and hearts with stencil cutters. We then sprinkled them with hundreds and thousands and cinnamon sugar. When they came out the oven, they were golden and very crunchy. Overall it was very fun to make and where was not allot of cleaning involved. **

When the marinade was addend the mixing was the fun part, when we put gloves on and mixed the wings around and coating them on the shiny sauce. When they came out of the oven they were very shiny and the ends of the wings where all burnt. This was probably due to the ends not getting enough marinade. Taste wise the chicken had no flavour inside the wing but the outside was nice.

Evaluation: One Tuesday the 8th of March we made marshmallow Slice. It did not have a lot of ingredients and it was very simple to make. When it came out of the oven the base of the slice very soft. I think it would have been a bit crunchier if we left it in the oven for longer but if we had done this the marshmallows would have burnt. In my opinion I thought it was way too sweet. It had too much sugar from the base, marshmallows and the jam. It would have tasted nicer if we didn’t put oats instead of coconut. What happened to the slices as biscuits as they cooled? They would have gotten harder as they cooled. How can the slices be stored? The best way to store the marshmallow slices is it the fridge. This is because no bacteria will grow on it when it is in a cold temperature.

Evaluation: On Wednesday the 9th of March we made Spaghetti Bosciaola. It was very fun to make and I liked how there was a lot of things to do. The most enjoyable part was the making of the sauce. We made allot of pasta and it was very tasty. It was not very hard to make. When I tasted the sauce it tasted very bland so I added pepper and salt then it tasted perfect. The end result looked and tasted good. Overall it was a very well chosen recipe to do and it was very pleasing.

This resispe was very easy to make and it was very simple. Making the chicken was very easy and it didn’t take long to cook. The sauce did not have allot of chilli so we added more sweet chilli sauce. The wraps were not big enough to cover the chicken and salads and when we raped them they came apart. We should have heated the wraps up on a frypan so they would become more flexible. Overall it was a very delicious recipe and it was very interesting and simple. <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro',serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">Questions: <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">1) <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Where have you seen a dish like this served? <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">I have seen a dish like this a McDonalds when they had mini chicken wraps with sweet chilli sauce.  <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">2) <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">What other flavour could your wraps have?

<span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Today we made pizza. When we started the dough was very simple to prepare and knee. Kneeing the dough was very hard because the dough was so sticky. When we rolled out the dough on the tray we used a lot of oil so it would not stick to the tray. Others did not use oil and their base stuck to the pan. The sauce base was very acidic and tasted funny. Usually when my family makes pizza at home we put sugar in the sauce to make it non acidic. When the pizza came out of the over it had rose incredibly and it was very think. Overall a very interesting and fun recipe to make. <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Questions: <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">1) <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">What conditions are needed for yeast to grow and make the dough rise? <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Temperatures at 220 degrees Celsius.  <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">2) <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Why is kneeing important? <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">It helps the dough to rise. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;">3) Name some suitable toppings for pizza:  · <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Cheese    · <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Ham    · <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Pineapple    · <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Peperoni    · <span style="font-family: 'Arno Pro','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Mushrooms

Give some examples of what this dish could be served with in a cafe and why. It could be served with hot chips and a nice salad because it like a baked burger. It could be served with this because usually when you order a burger it comes with chips to balance out the nutrients due to the meal having allot of protein and carbs.

The pancakes where very simple and very easy to make the mixture. I like that making pancakes only needs 3 ingredents. Frying the pancakes challeging because it was hard to flip the panckes. I found that the panckes where very bland in taste and needed some sweetness in them. Today I learnt that when making a pancke, you must take the pan off the heat before adding the next panckae mixture on the pan to prevent burning. When making panckaes, it is always easier to make samller panckakes that large thick panckes because if you make a large thick pancake it is vey chalenging to flip and it is possible that is will break. When making a large pancakes, make sure that the panckce is thin so it is easy to flip. When making the pancakes, do not use allot of oil or the panckces will burn or deepfry. Overall a very intersting resipe and it was very simple and also challenging. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arno Pro',serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">
