Design Brief: To design and make a low fat main meal product which could be sold in a major retail outlet. You need to include the following to be on target for a Grade C: Design Brief Spider diagram/mind map is complete - include: The intended user - who will use your product and/or who is your client... Existing products - products similar to what you are intending to design... The function of a potential idea - inputs and outputs, how it might work... Materials and components - what you could use to make your product... Initial ideas - what ideas you have for your product... Additionally Even better if: Produce a mood board – images of low fat main meal products. Research Low fat products What does ‘low fat’ mean? Government recommendations/Healthy eating. Include some pictures and comments about low fat main meals. Design a questionnaire. Analysis You need to comment on what you found out from your research? Ask yourself: What did I know before? What did I find out? How will this help me with my design project? Write up a survey of products already available to buy. Specification This must contain points about your product and packaging. It should reflect what you have found out in your research and analysis and contain a checklist i.e.: My product must be a main course. Contain the least amount of fat possible Be appetising and attractive Be filling etc. Even better if: You explain how you aim to achieve making your product in line with the specification i.e. You include a detailed time plan to ensure a consistent product.

Project: Due in on Monday 30th November 2009. Ideas You need to include: Write up of practicals completed – including a star profile. A sentence saying how your dish turned out & how you could improve it. A labelled photograph of your product. Additionally Even better if: You include some 3 or 4 Name of recipe Source of recipe (name of cookery book/internet site). Ingredient list. Any changes you that would make the recipe low fat. Reasons for choice. Planning Your final design ask yourself - What I am making and why? Time plan Produce a flow chart for your final product. This must show the sequence of making, quality control, health and safety points. Making How well did you work? Are you an independent worker? Include a labelled photograph. What skills did you use? Making skills – creaming method; robbing-in; melting; whisking etc. Cooking skills – Baking, boiling, grilling etc. Other skills – Piping, garnishing and decoration Evaluation Evaluate your final outcome by asking people for written comments about the final product/ produce a star diagram. Did you reach all your specification points? If you did not succeed, what prevented you from doing so? What were the difficulties/problems? Could your product be improved still further? If so, how?
