Cooking terms, the cutting and mixing of foods, and recipes about baking foods in the oven are areas covered in these two projects. Information on why we need to eat foods from each of the basic 4 Food Groups increases their nutrition knowledge. Meals Today the Easy Way: is for the cooks of today. Today meals are more varied, more interesting, more quickly and easily prepared and better tasting than ever before. With mixes, canned and frozen foods, nonstick pans and other "Now" projects that save time cooking and cleaning those enrolled in this project learn that the convenience way to cook is also creative -- "doing your thing" with a mix or a basic dish, adding a cup of this or a sprinkling of that for a pleasing change of taste. Preservation Canning and Freezing: Give information on the preservation of Fruits and Vegetables to make it possible for us to have greater variety of color, texture, and flavor in our meals throughout the year. Meat in Your Meals: Meat is one of the most expensive foods in our meals -- that is why one should learn to select it wisely and prepare it properly. Pastry in .Your Meals: Is planned for 4-H club members who have had some experience in food preparation. The term pastry in this project unit is limited to crusts for pies, tarts, and patty shells. There is also a section on meal planning and preparation in this project. Yeast Breads in Your Meals: An opportunity to learn the skills involved in making baked yeast products.
