Home Ec/ Art Project

Since like last week we were assigned a project that involves two subjects. It is a cross between Home Economics and Art. In Home Ec. we are assigned a partner and we have to choose any country in the world. We then had to look up recipes of food that are eaten in that country and whatever we choose we then have to cook it. It is over the course of 3 weeks so we have to cook 2 savoury and 1 sweet dish. Last Tuesday just gone me and Niamh O'R picked to do New Zealand so we made a sweet dish which was called Raspberry Friands which is like fairy cakes with raspberry's in them. It was easy and quick to make because it only took about 20 mins to make them. After taking them out of the oven we saw that they had turned out beautifully; nice and crist, we then sprinkled icing sugar over them to finish them off :) Next week we are thinking about making like a chicken dish but it hasn't been descided. We better do it quick because we are cooking it on Tuesday. After we cook the 3 dishes we then have to either make a PowerPoint Presentation or like a folder which would include our recipies, a little about the country and like things that you didn't know about that counrty. On the other hand in Art we have to make like a poster or a mood board, which will include things about the country. We are going to write a little about New Zealand's culture and weather and most importantly we have to talk about a famous or unknown painter or artist from that country. Our teacher Ms. O'H said that we should include a little about his life; like biography and things that he painted/sculpted etc.
