Term 1&2 : Taste the World
Term 1&2 : Taste the World
Unit Overview
Unit Overview
In this unit, ākonga will become food innovators, exploring how food connects people, culture, and technology. They will work in teams to see how food truck systems turn ingredients into finished dishes, focusing on how preparation, cooking, and service come together for smooth operations.
Through hands-on cooking, ākonga create and refine their own food truck concept and dish. They use feedback from others to make decisions, improve their ideas, and explain how these changes shaped their final product.
Alongside cooking, ākonga learn about the social and cultural value of food. They discover how cuisines reflect history, identity, and tradition, and how recipes are passed down and adapted across generations and cultures.
When choosing a cuisine to research and cook, kaiako can decide whether the class:
Cooks the same traditional dish
Picks from a few selected dishes
Researches and cooks any cultural dish of interest.
By the end of this unit, ākonga will have deepened their understanding of transforming inputs into outputs, managing systems, collecting and acting on feedback, and mastering new recipes.
Note: Kaiako may also choose to adapt or omit the technological systems component (inputs, processes, and outputs) if they wish to focus primarily on social sciences and food and nutrition learning outcomes. This flexibility allows the unit to be tailored to curriculum priorities and ākonga needs.
