Cooking 101, Tuesday, Period 1
"So, apparently I'm supposed to talk about nutrition," Karla announced as the class came in. "Except I'm supposed to use this weird handout, rather than just talking about what each different type of food is good for." As a Healer, Karla had a lot of thoughts on nutrition. But sometimes bureaucracy was bureaucracy.
"This is the Eatwell Food Plate," she explained, handing them out. "It shows what you should generally be eating, and what percentage of your diet should be made up of each food group. Healthy grains, like wheat, rice, and quinoa should make up the largest portion of your meal, followed by vegetables, preferably of the dark green and leafy variety."
She went over the plate infographic, though not extensively. She had faith her students could read and it wasn't a difficult infographic to follow, after all.
"So, today I'm not the one in charge of cooking something." You were all vastly disappointed, clearly. "Today is when you get to prepare a meal that you think is close to the Eatwell Plate for nutritional value. It doesn't have to follow this exact setup - you don't need to have your food all portioned like this and not touching, that's weird - but it should be close to these general proportions. If you don't feel comfortable actually cooking something like this," and how could that be true, after Karla's excellent instruction? "then just find a recipe you think would fulfill these requirements."
