I very much enjoyed the Iron Chef activity we did in class. I though it was a fun way to let the class get creative but still have some boundaries. I think Iron Chef is a good activity to do in foods because it creates a little bit of friendly competition and pushes everyone to want to do their best. My group made relitivly last minute decisions which I’m not particularly proud of but one of our decisions was to make the strawberry syrup that ended up turning out really good. I wish that we had thought to do things like that earlier so we weren’t as stressed but it ended up being okay. We chose this specific recipe because we knew that most groups would do more lunch/dinner recipies and we wanted to stand out and go for something that no one would expect to be made with yams. Personally I don’t like yam’s so I don’t have much opinion on the recipie we did. I think we chose this specific recipe mainly because we wanted something that wasn’t going to take a super long time to make just in case we did something wrong so we would have time to fix our mistake. We also chose it because we didn’t want to have to pick a recipe and not have the ingredients for it. I think we definitely could have done a better job on this recipe because the final product didn’t end up looking great and the yam taste was kind of masked by the rest of the flavours. I think we definitely could have chosen a better recipe that we could have easily made in the time limit and kept with the ingredient restrictions. If I were to do this activity again, specifically this recipe I wold have made sure we boiled the yam we used before we mashed it to make sure it was more like a pancake batter consistency rather than a dough like consistency. If I could do this again completely I would definitely make sure I had a recipe that was more complex and was able to really show off the flavours of the yam. All in all I’m quite happy with how the recipe we chose went although I do think that we could have done a better job in choosing a recipe.
