Pizza task evaluation

This year in hospitality, our assignment was to make a balanced, healthy pizza meal. A balanced meal is eating All the vitamins and minerals your body needs and not eating too much or too less of things. By following the food pyramid You will pretty much be eating a balanced meal. The food pyramid is made up of Bread, cereal, pasta and rice which you are meant to eat the most, then Fruit as well as vegetables, milk, yoghurt and cheese, after that meat, poultry, Fish, eggs and nuts and lastly fatty foods and drinks which can only be consumed sometimes.

My recipe:

-2 mushrooms
-1 tomato
- low fat, skin free chicken breasts
- basil
- thyme
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- tomato paste
- 1 pizza base

For my recipe I used the ingredients above. I used these ingredients so that I would have some food from each food group except for the unhealthy sometimes food which I only had a little bit of. As bread, cereal, pasta and rice are the food group you are meant to eat most of, my main food group in the pizza is made up of that as the base is bread. I also chose these ingredients as they dont take much time to prepare and as they worked with my skill level at cooking.

I believe I executed this task efficiently as I wasnt rushed and got everything done. However, when Georgia and Christie were getting there pizzas out of the oven christie's tipped over, fortunately nina and I went over and helped and the pizza was okay. I was very satisfied with my end result as I have always been a bad cook and I couldnt have imagined how well it turned out!

From this task I have learnt I am not a completely useless cook and now have a meal I can cook and show off to friends and family. Before this task I was very nervous about all the ingredients but I managed to do well preparing and cooking and am very happy to be able to add another recipe to my personal cook book!!

If I was to do this again I would probably practice cutting and preparing the ingredients at home more so that it would be perfect when the day came to cook, but other than that I am very proud of myself and my pizza.

I am very happy I did this task as I know can take better care of my body and stay healthy and fit. Also in the future I will be able to prepare and eat this recipe many times.
