Planning and Preparing Simple Food

Learn to plan a simple dish, choose ingredients, follow easy steps and stay clean and safe.

Planning Your Food

Before we make any food, we plan first. We choose a simple dish, list the ingredients we need, and think about the steps in order. A good plan helps the work go smoothly and stops us from forgetting things. A simple dish for pupils could be a fruit salad or a sandwich.

Key idea

Plan first: pick the dish, list the ingredients, then follow the steps in the right order.

Hygiene and Safety

Hygiene means keeping everything clean. Always wash your hands and clean the table and tools before you begin. Use fresh ingredients. Work safely too: be careful with knives, keep away from hot stoves, and clean up any spills so no one slips.

Remember

  • Wash your hands before touching food.
  • Keep tools and the table clean.
  • Handle knives and hot things with care.
  • Tidy up when you finish.

When we plan well and stay clean and safe, our food is tasty and healthy to eat.
