Presentation Transcript
Get ready Send home permission letters to check for allergies, religious or cultural reasons why children may not be able to taste certain foods. Check the returned letters and take any action necessary regarding what can be tasted by the class in the light of parent/carer responses.
Get the equipment ready Serving plates - for the samples Serving spoons for the samples Tasting plates one per child to place the food being tasted Tasting equipment, e.g. spoons, forks one per child Paper towels in case tasters need to remove food from their mouths Cups of water one per child for cleansing pallet between samples
Get the food ready Buy the foods you will be tasting.* Check the date marks to make sure the food will be in- date when it is needed. Store the foods correctly until the tasting session, e.g. refrigerate. Just before the tasting session, prepare small sample-sized pieces of the food safely and hygienically. *Samples will be small so you ll only need a little!
Get the tasters ready Explain to the children: Hands need to be washed and dried before tasting. Samples must be served with one piece of equipment and eaten with another (children must not serve food with the same cutlery/equipment they eat with). Use your senses to explore the food sample look, smell, touch and taste.
Get the tasters readycontinued Food that cannot be swallowed can be discreetly removed from the mouth with a paper towel. This can then be thrown away and the taster must re-wash their hands. Sip some water between each sample to clear your mouth.
