Final Reflection: Cultural Food Festival, Pan de Muerto

Cultural Food Festival, it was good, at the start I felt like all the people were looking bad at my food, but when my dad tried one the people started to grab it and they really liked it. The next time I’ll do more ’cause I couldn’t try anything :/. I didn’t take a photo, but my food looked like this:

 

Semester Reflection:

 

It was good, I made a lot of food and I learn a lot

I made all this and it was really fun. I don’t think I would change anything.

cultural festival: email to my parents

Dear Mom and Dad,

I’m really excited to invite you to the school, where I’ll be making Pan de Muerto during periods one and two. It would be awesome if you could join us for morning tea from 11:10 to 11:30 a.m.

Just a quick reminder that this will be on Friday, December 5th, and you’re welcome to come with friends, relatives, or anyone you’d like to share this special moment with.

We’ll be waiting for you in the kitchen, where my classmates and I will show you a little bit of our traditions.

Thank you so much!

Whanau Kai Story: Dia de muertos

I was life 9 or 10 years old. It was  Dia de muertos. we made an altar for my great-grandfather. We were talking about our memories with him. we put cigarettes, a lighter, alcohol, his favorite cereal, and some pan de muertos. we didn’t have any Flores de cempasuchil, so we used orange crepe paper. I put some skull-shaped gummies, and by morning they had melted ’cause it was very hot in Mexicali. I was worried that him might not eaten it, but my parents assured me that he probably had

Burgers

I recently made three different burgers, each with distinct ingredients and textures, and the experience was both fun and delicious. The first burger was made using a scone mix bun that my team and I prepared ourselves. This gave the burger a unique, homemade feel—the bun was dense, slightly crumbly, and had a subtle sweetness that paired surprisingly well with the savory fillings. The second burger followed a more traditional route: it featured a classic hamburger bun with a beef patty, which gave it that familiar and satisfying taste most people associate with burgers. It was well-balanced, juicy, and straightforward, which made it a reliable favorite. The third burger was a bit of an experiment—we used a different kind of bread, and added a generous amount of butter to it. The result was incredibly rich and flavorful, with the buttery bread adding a luxurious touch to the overall experience. Even though each burger had its own personality, I honestly enjoyed all three. They each brought something different to the table, and it was interesting to compare the textures, flavors, and overall feel. It’s hard to pick a favorite because they were all very good in their own way.

My favorite snack

Churros are my favorite snack because they combine the best of a crispy outside and a soft inside, almost always accompanied by sugar and cinnamon or dipped in a thick cup of hot chocolate. They remind me of joyful moments, fairs, special breakfasts, and cold afternoons shared with family or friends. What fascinates me most is how this simple delicacy has transcended borders: although they have roots in Spain, churros have been adopted and reinterpreted by many cultures around the world. In Mexico, for example, they are found on almost every street corner, often filled with dulce de leche or cajeta, and in some cases, Nutella. In the United States, they are popular at festivals and amusement parks, while in the Philippines and other Asian countries, they have also become part of the sweet culinary repertoire. This ability to adapt and connect different cultures through such a universal flavor makes churros not only delicious, but also a symbol of how food can unite us beyond our differences. 

Pizza 🍕

My stakeholder did not have dietary requirements. I used cheese, chicken, onion, and others  which gave the pizza a delicious  flavor and texture.

From this trial, I learned that I have to cut the ingredients better.  One thing I would do differently next time is don’t cut so much onion.

 

 

Pizzaster

I have been working on pizza.  My favorite part of the term was making pizza, it was really fun!  My least favorite part? Clean the dishes (ALL THE TIME). I just made pizza, and my favorite pizza was the one in flat bread
