    This pack aims to let pupils:

    develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of Food Technology

    explore, generate, develop and model ideas

    design and cook high quality, cheese based products for themselves, for clients and a market

    evaluate products

    work both collaboratively and independently

    become aware of cheese as a source of calcium, protein and vitamin B12.

    Introduction

    This pack is of particular relevance to teachers of

    Key Stage 3 Food Technology. It can be used as a

    source of ideas for design and make units of work,

    for one off lessons or special end of term/year

    activity weeks/days. Ideas are given for starter

    activities and design briefs. Recipes that use cheese

    as an ingredient, which have been trialled by Key

    Stage 3 pupils, are included.

    Section 1 provides ideas for 24 starter activities.They enable pupils to develop key skills required

    for Food Technology and also their knowledge of

    cheese as a nutrient dense ingredient.

    Section 2 outlines four design and makeassignments for three different end uses. Depending

    on the time available to schools and the skills and

    knowledge that the pupils already possess it is

    anticipated that each topic would take between

    three and six one-hour sessions plus homework.

    Section 3 provides a number of recipes and sheetsthat can be photocopied. They include recipes for

    cheese sauce, scones, pizza bases, pasta bake,

    lasagne and soup, and copy masters for the design

    briefs and some starter activities such as one to

    analyse cheese.

    Section 4 gives a glossary of terms used within thecheese making process and Food Technology. A DVD

    shows the cheese making process. It is particularly

    useful for informing pupils about quality control and

    also, in helping them to understand the processes

    and time taken to produce cheese.

    SafetyAll the activities outlined within this packhave been trialled with Key Stage 3 secondary

    school pupils. It is vital that teachers have full

    information regarding pupils food allergies and

    medical conditions before undertaking activities

    that involve handling, smelling or tasting foods.

    Also, teachers should ensure that all sessions

    involving food comply with your schools health

    and safety guidelines.

    Starter activitiesTwenty-four starter activities provide opportunities

    for the pupils to develop key skills required for

    Food Technology, to collaborate and to work

    independently. With practice and good organisation,

    each activity can be completed in 1015 minutes.

    The Key Stage 3 National Strategylists six sub-skill

    groups for Design and Technology. The following

    table indicates how the starter activities offer the

    opportunity to develop these sub-skills.

    Starter activity 1Provide small pieces of three different cheeses e.g.blue Stilton, mature Cheddar, Wensleydale. Brainstorm

    adjectives for a cheese word bank. Encourage pupils toprovide sensory words for taste, appearance and texture.

    Starter activity 3Ask each pupil to make a star profile for one of threedifferent cheeses. In the next session compare profilesfor the same cheese and also with different cheeses.Discuss whether profiles for the same cheese are similar.Can the profiles be used to identify cheeses or are theytoo subjective?

    Starter activity 4In groups of three or four pupils, analyse a block ofcheese using Copy master 1 (on page 12). Starter activity 12

    Use Copy master 3 (on page 15) to give groups of twoto four pupils a sketch of a slice of Margherita pizza.Ask each group to annotate and modify their slice fora given theme such as vegetarian, sporty, autumn,birthday or Valentines Day.

    Designing for a client (1):Party pizza

    PARTY PIZZA COMPANY

    Dear Pizza Designers,

    The Party Pizza Company is keen to purchase designs

    for new pizzas that:

    could be eaten with fingers at parties

    give toppings that provide a healthy balance

    are attractive to look at

    taste delicious.

    Please help! We need information about suitable

    ingredients and how they should be placed to

    encourage people to buy and eat the pizzas.

    We also need proof that the designs will work!

    Good luck!

    Best wishes and many thanks,

    Edmund Davies

    (Managing Director for the Party Pizza Company)

    Teacher notes:

    This design brief is ideal for pupils with limited

    experience of Food Technology. It provides the

    opportunity for pupils to carry out research into

    popular pizza toppings, to consider practical

    issues such as the appropriate shape for pizza

    pieces to be eaten as finger food and the amount

    and type of topping that would be easy to eat.

    It allows pupils to follow a simple recipe, to make

    dough/scone mixture, to develop knife skills, todesign and to evaluate products in relation to a

    design brief.

    Cheesewell

    Lancashire

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    The Good Food Corporationis urgently seeking a

    new product for its home-bakery counter. It is anxiousto award a contract to a baker able to produce batches

    of four scones or savoury biscuits, flavoured with

    cheese. The Good Food Corporationstresses the need

    to have a product that is reproducible, healthy,

    packaged in an environmentally friendly way and at

    an appropriate unit cost.

    We look forward to receiving your proposals.

    Yours faithfully,

    Suraj Usconi(Managing Director for The Good Food Corporation)

    Teacher notes:

    This topic introduces pupils to ideas of

    reproducibility, unit costs and other factors that

    affect the marketing of products. Pupils should be

    encouraged to research the way that food is

    packaged and to consider how to make products

    that are appealing for their consumers. When using

    the scone recipe, pupils will need to consider whichcheeses would give their scones the best taste and

    appearance. They will also need to think how they

    can ensure that each scone/biscuit, in a set of four,

    looks as identical as possible.

    Design brief 2 Copy master 7(on page 19)

    Designing for own use:

    Cook-chill cheesy meal

    Design and make a cook-chill product that you

    would enjoy eating that could also be suitable for

    mass production.

    Teacher notes:

    This topic provides pupils with the opportunity to

    observe, to cook and to evaluate traditional cook-

    chill products such as pasta bake, soup and lasagne.

    In addition pupils have the scope to be creative asthey design cook-chill products for personal use.

    Pupils should be encouraged to research recipes

    and to understand why people buy cook-chill

    products. Pupils could also be given a cost for

    ingredients which may not be exceeded.

    Designing for a market:

    Cheesy desserts

    WANTED!

    Designs for cheesy desserts for teenagers.

    Teacher notes:

    Within this topic pupils can be introduced to

    the ingredients cottage cheese and cream cheese

    and have the opportunity to make a cheesecake.

    They should be encouraged to consider the

    nutritional content of desserts such as cheesecakes

    and more savoury alternatives such as cheese

    muffins and cheese and biscuits with fruit. Research

    could include making questionnaires to survey

    teenagers to ascertain the types of dessert that are

    liked and preferences for sweet/healthy desserts.

    The emphasis should be on designing and giving

    pupils the chance to modify a recipe and to present

    and justify their ideas to their peers.

    PUPIL NAME:

    Different temperatures are used at this stage to make differenttypes of cheese. Soft cheeses are made from soft curds andthese are formed at lower temperatures. Higher temperaturesare used to make semi-hard cheeses. Hard cheeses such asCheddar need curds formed at medium temperatures.

    The next stage is to produce curds. A startermixture that contains bacteria is added tothe milk. This changes the sugars that are inthe milk into lactic acid. Later rennet isadded and curds form.

    The first stage in the cheese making process is topool the milk, which has been previously pasteurised,in a large container. If the cheese is to be coloureddye may be added. Annatto is a natural dye that isoften used.

    Although there are many different cheeses most cheeses are madeusing the same process. By making slight changes to one or moreof the stages in the process different cheeses can be made.

    Cheese is made from milk. Different breeds of cattle producedifferent flavours of milk. The flavours are also affected by

    what the cattle eat. Cheese can also be made from themilk of animals such as goats and sheep.

    After the curds are formed they are cut to release thewhey. The curds for hard cheeses such as Cheddarare cut many times so that a lot of liquid can be takenaway. The curds for softer cheeses will hardly be cutat all. As well as cutting them, some cheese makersmay heat the curds.

    Making cheese continued

    The final stage is called ripening or maturing. Cheeses areleft in rooms where the temperature and the humidity canbe carefully controlled. (Humidity is the amount of moisturepresent in the air.) The taste of a cheese will be affected bythe length of time it is left to ripen. Cheese makers carefullycheck the colour, shape, smell and texture of the cheeses asthey ripen. Some also check the sound of the cheeses.

    When the cheeses are ready to be eaten they are either soldimmediately or coated. Wax, foil, paper, plastic and clothhave all been used to protect cheeses.

    The next stage for many cheeses is to beplaced in a mould with holes. The mouldsare made from materials such as stainlesssteel, wood and cheesecloth. The holesallow further whey to drain. Some cheesesare also pressed at this stage to makethem firmer.

    Salt is added to all cheeses except for the softestcream cheeses and cottage cheeses. The salt slightlychanges the acidity of the cheese and slows downor stops the process that was begun by adding astarter mixture to the milk. It also helps to expelsurplus whey, acts as a preservative and adds flavour.
