INDOOR COOKING

CILT ACTIVITY SPECIALISATION REQUIREMENTS

 

Just a few friendly reminders…

 

You need to develop a binder for each specialisation.  There are no set guidelines for this; you need to do something that will be efficient and create a store of information to use (or even take with you) whenever you are involved with this activity in the future.  In your binder, you should keep track of everything you do!

 

You need to be an expert in this activity.  Doing as much as possible is the best plan.  You are required to complete all of the following to satisfy the specialisation requirements, however the more you do, the better! 

 

Finally, you will need to be checked off on each of the requirements. ‘Skills’ work will need to be checked off by a knowledgeable member of the camp staff, or someone approved by a CILT instructor.  The rest will be checked off along with your CILT file during your time at camp.

 

 

Safety

 

  1. Know safety rules for the kitchen, and practice them.  (In this you need to include hygiene and cleanliness in the kitchen)

 

Knowledge

 

 

  1. Have clear and useful recipes for the following (and understand them!)

 

10 types of sweets

10 types of snacks

10 types of cold meals

10 types of hot meals

10 types of muffin

 

  1. Plan a menu for 5 people for 5 days, and make a shopping list for all the necessary items.

 

  1. Read Matthew 25:31-40.  How can cooking and feeding others be serving the Lord?  How can you use this skill to glorify the Lord and bless others?  What are three ways you could be more purposeful as you cook, keeping in mind you are doing it for God?  Pray about it!

 

  1. Contact relevant organisations (suggestions below) or consult their websites for more information about indoor cooking.  It is good to know about more than just what happens at camp.

Skills

 

1.       In order to learn more about indoor cooking, build a recipe and cooking portfolio.  For each item in the portfolio, there needs to be a recipe, clear directions, photo of what you made, and a review from someone who has sampled the dish.  There need to be at least 15 entries, including at least the following:

 

2 cold main dishes

2 hot main dishes

1 vegetarian dish

2 types of cookies

1 type of bread which is made with yeast

1 type of muffin

1 cake

 

 

 

Leadership

 

  1.  Collect ‘tools’ that will help you to lead this activity.  This will include at least…

 

Directions to at least 5 activities or games involving food, but not necessary cooking, that would encourage campers to learn cooking techniques while having fun.

5 creative ways to teach campers the principles of indoor cooking.

5 creative ways to involve everyone in making a recipe even when this is awkward.

 

  1. Develop a 5 day lesson plan for indoor cooking that could be used at camp.  Be creative! 

 

Note : Because indoor cooking can be logistically difficult because of the use of the kitchen, with your lesson plan, you need to plan how you much time you would need in the kitchen during your class, and how you might get around this.  Discuss more than one option.

 

  1. Assist in teaching indoor cooking for a week at camp.
