Cooking a full meal takes some
time and planning. If I were to cook a meal for our class, I would make it as a
study break from midterms. My budget would be probably around $150. I would
make guacamole with chips, pesto pasta, chicken breast, and berries for
dessert. To make it easier on me to cook, I would buy pesto sauce already made,
instead of basil and the other ingredients to make it. To buy all of the
ingredients listed below in the recipes, I would go to the Whole Foods near
campus.
The recipe for the guacamole
is as:
· 10 avocados – $20
· 5 tbs of lime
juice – need to buy one lime – $1
· 1 cup of
minced onion – need to buy one onion – $2
· 10 tbs of
cilantro –
· 3 tomatoes
chopped up -
· salt and
pepper to taste
· chips
Pesto
Pasta recipe
· 6 packs of
pasta
· Pesto sauce
from store
· Butter
· Parmesan
cheese
Sautéed
chicken breast
· 15-or so
pounds of chicken breast
· Butter
· Salt and
pepper to taste
Berries
· 3 packs of strawberries
· 2 packs of
blueberries
· 3 packs of
raspberries
· whipped cream
(in can)
Other
· Plastic plates
· Plastic
Utensils
· Napkins
· Mini water
bottles
I I would try to cook this meal by myself in the kitchen of my dorm, Long Street
Means. If I needed help or was running out of time, I would ask my friends to
help me. In total, the process of
cooking and buying the ingredients would probably take around 5 hours—it would
take 2 approximately hours to Uber to whole foods and back and 3 hours to cook
the meal and set the table. Additionally, I would use plastic utensils and
plates so that the cleaning up process after the meal would be much quicker –
instead of having to wash all of the plates and utensils, everything would be
discarded. I would reserve the lounge of Longstreet Means Hall to host the
dinner party, and have it be buffet style, so that everyone could get what they
wanted.
Reflection: finding prices
for each ingredient is quite difficult, and I ran out of time trying to find
them. 2
