    Explanation of Problem and Design Brief

    Problem: The challenge in this unit is to create somemeals that are both nutritious and tasty with somelimitations / restrictions such as; limited cookingequipment and the inability to refrigerate. Students willindividually "Inquire and Analyze" meals, diets, nutrition

    and needs for meals that are to be prepared and eatenon WOWS trips. After Inquiring and analyzing, students willcollaborate in small groups of three/four in which you willwork to design, plan and create a range of meals/dishesthat are adapted to outdoors. Three main meals thatcould be used for outdoor activities such as your WOWs

    trips.

    Brief: To create 3 main meals for WOWS which isnutritious, edible and easy enough to make in limitedtime and limited equipment and utensils.

    Initial Specifications and Justifications

    Specification Justification

    Must be able to becreated in 80 minutes.

    The dish should be easily made and does notconsume too much time as there is a tight time

    schedule.

    Products must not be ableto be refrigerated

    There will be no ice/refrigerator available duringthe hike and any activities as it is not convenientnor practical.

    Must be nutritionallybalanced(based on research)

    The health of students should be taken inconsideration to keep a well-balanced diet tomaintain physicality, activeness and nutrition.

    Must provide enoughenergy for 14-15 year olds(based on research)

    Since the meals are eaten during camp, they mustprovide energy to teenagers undergoing physicalactivities.

  • 8/13/2019 Criterion A- WOWs Camping Food

    6/38

    Specification Justification

    Must be produced withthe following equipment:two burners, two pots/pans, basic cookingutensils

    In wows, we will only have a couple of equipment so the foodwe cook should only require those. For example, we cannotbake a chocolate chip cake since these is no oven in themiddle of the forest.

    Should be creative and

    divine, preferably out ofthe ordinary

    The point of this unit is to create a dish that is practical but is

    also creative.

    Should follow any dietaryrestrictions or choice

    Students dietary restrictions or allergies should be kept in mindas the consequences of this may serve as a problem. Forexample, a student maybe allergic to grapes, if eaten it cancause a rash, therefore grapes should not be an ingredient.Additionally, if there is an ingredient that someone does notprefer to eat, it should not be included since they likely not eatthe meal.

    Must taste good Good food should be tasty. If it isn't, it is not appealing andpossible not eatable. Students not eating will have aconsequence of lack of physicality, strength, ability, andnutrition during the camps activities.

    Guiding Questions (research plan)

    1. What are the dietary restrictions for my groupmembers?

    2. What are calorie requirements for teenagers aged 14undergoing physical activities?

    3. What is a nutritionally balanced meal/diet?4. What are some practical ingredients that do not need

    refrigeration and are easily to transport?

    5. What are some foods that provide energy?6. What are some traditional campfire recipes?7. What are some easy and convenient recipes to cook

    regarding the limited time and equipment?

    8. What are some snacks and food that kids/teenagersare likely to enjoy?

    BOYS:

    GIRLS:

    APPROXIMATE CALORICREQUIREMENTS FOR ADOLESCENCES

    To answer one of my research questions, understanding the

    recommended calorie intake is essential as students should be eatingthe right amount of calories their meals/snacks contain to maintainactive fitness/energy level throughout the day.

    Seen by the tables above, it is clear that boys must consume more

    than girls. I will be looking at the active column since the requirementsfor active adolescences is includes physical activity equivalent towalking more than 3 miles per day at a pace of 3 to 4 mph. In wows,we will be walking more than 3 miles, thus, girls require 2200-2400calories/day and boys require 2400-2800 calories/day. It is veryimportant for all the meals and snacks to meet these requirements

    *meals should contain these much calories and should also be nutritional

  • 8/13/2019 Criterion A- WOWs Camping Food

    10/38

    Nutritionally Balanced Meals and Diets

    The key to a healthy balanceddiet is eating the right amount offood and eating a range of foodsaccording to the pyramid.

    The range of foods the diet shouldinclude:1. A lot of bread, rice, potatoes,pasta and other starchy foods(preferably wholegrain)2. A lot of fruit and vegetables

    3. Some milk and dairy foods(preferably lower-fat) and othernon-dairy sources like protein,meat, fish, eggs, beans.4. A tad bit of foods high in fatand sugar

  • 8/13/2019 Criterion A- WOWs Camping Food

    11/38

    The eatwell plate is alsoanother representation

    of how a meal shouldcontain. It shouldcontain all 5 of the foodgroups. Additionally, themeal should be based

    on the calorie intake ofthe teenager, so a girlsdaily diet would be atleast 2200 calories andingredients/food shouldbe proportional to thepyramid and eatwellplate.

    Tips: 1. Eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. 2. Basemeals on starchy foods. 3. Eat fish. 4. 6-8 cups of water a day. 5. Eat lesssalt. 6. Cut down on saturated fats and sugars.

    Foods that provide energy1. Carbohydrates (whole

    grains)

    2. Nuts and Beans3. Dark Chocolate4. Salmon5. Eggs6. Apples, Bananas7.

    Sweet Potatoes

    Beside is a list of possible foods/ingredients that can be included inour meals/snacks. This is becausethey are a great energy source.

    For example, the glucose in complexcarbohydrates is a fuel source forthe brain and nervous systems. Alsoeggs contains the highest completeform of any proteins, amino acidshelps muscles too. Furthermore,derived plants such as spinach

    provides iron, an important role inenergy production. Strangely, beansprovide both carbs and protein.If these foods were eaten, students

    would be less tired and fatigue andmore alert since there is a powerfulboost in to their diet.

    Ultra lightBackpacking Snacks

    During research, I found this veryinteresting website about a 5 daybackpacking meal plan that isefficient to transport, eat, and ithealthy and provides energy.

    This example below and to the sidepresents a 1 day plan of possiblesnacks and its calories and weight.All these snacks will probably not beall used but it is still useful tounderstand the possible snacks to

    bring a long which are very suitablefor physical activities.

    6 unpeeled large garlic cloves,smashed1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme!teaspoon finely chopped freshrosemary

    2. Arrange six 12-inch squares of foil on awork surface. Divide potato mixtureamong foil squares, placing 1 garlic cloveatop potatoes on each square. Crimp foilto seal packets. (Can be made 2 hoursahead. Let stand at room temperature.)3. Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoalgrill, or heat a gas grill to high. Placepotato packets on grill and cook, turningoccasionally, until heated through andsizzling, about 15 minutes.4. Transfer packets to plates. Pierce foilwith a fork to release steam.

    17/38

    Nutrition(Balance of the 5 foodgroups)

    Potato contains carbohydrates and its skincontains natural fiber and a 6 ounce contains3 grams of protein (as much as half a class ofmilk).

    6/10(there is only potatoes in thisrecipe so it wouldnt containthat much nutrition and its notbalanced enough for a meal.)

    Energy Provided( calories: boys (2400) girls(2200) )

    1 medium sized potato is 110 calories, so 16potatoes are 1760 calories. But if shared with 4people, it would be 440 calories/person.

    10/10(provides a lot of calories perperson)

    Tastiness Depends on the persons choice, I like

    potatoes so everything potatoes tastes good.Especially with the seasoning that can be

    added/decreased and changed accordingto their choice.

    10/10

    (there is seasoning to adjustflavor)

    Convenience oftransporting Ingredients

    Potatoes are pretty heavy, especially 16potatoes. They might not be ideal to carryduring a hike. But the seasoning is very

    convenient to travel since they can be

    placed in small, tiny packets. No refrigerationneeded!

    5/10(potatoes are heavy to carrybut the seasoning is

    convenient)

    Equipment Required(two burners, two pots/pans basic cooking

    utensils)

    Requires a grill and a pan, there is no grill butthe potatoes can be grilled on the pan. Alsofoil is needed. Other than that, all the

    equipment is available.

    5/10(no grill, but there is pans,burners, knife available. The

    foil can be brought along)

    Time Required Around 45 minutes in total. 10/10(since it does not reach

    maximum of 80 mins)

    When Mr. Deryck was talking about throwing potatoes into thecampfire, it made my mouth water so I decided to analyze thisCampfire Potato recipe.

    As a part of my research, Mac and Cheese are one of the many foods kids/teenagers enjoy to eat. This recipe has a twist to the tradition M&C, it hassausages. As one of my favorite foods, I thought it would be cool if it were to becook in WOWs.

    CAMPFIRE PAELLA

    22/38

    Steps

    1. Heat the pan for a few minutes before dropping in a

    couple of good lugs of the olive oil.2. When the oil starts to sizzle, throw in the onions and

    let them saut for five minutes or so.3. Once the onions have started to glisten, add thegarlic and chilli. Let that saut for 5to 10 minutes.4. Add the capsicum, letting it saut for a couple ofminutes.5. Add the chopped chorizo and chicken thighs; fry

    until the chicken is browned.6. Add the spices and salt and pepper, to taste. I use a

    lot of paprika a good three tablespoons worth because I like the smokiness.7. If youve got prawns, throw them in after the spices

    have had a couple of minutes in the pan. These are a bitof a luxury item when youre campingthe recipe willwork just as well without them, but theyre great to have ifyou can find a way.8. Add the Arborio rice and the stock. On a campfire,

    itll take at least half an hour over coals for the rice to

    absorb the liquidkeep stirring every couple ofminutes or so to stop the rice sticking to the hot wok.9. You want the rice to lose any hardness, and the

    paella to take on a shiny, sticky consistency. Use theextra water if it turns out the stock isnt enough to reachthis point.This is great served with a bit of chopped parsley sprinkledover the top but really, all you need is a bowl, spoon

    and an appetite.

    As one of my specifications, to cook something that is not ordinary. I found this paellarecipe that seemed difficult yet fun to cook, it also seemed very delicious. Since this is aSpanish dish and not commonly served in Thailand, I wanted to analyze this recipe to learnmore about paella in general.

    Nutrition

    (Balance of the 5 foodgroups)

    The carbs come from the Graham Crackers.

    According to my research earlier, bananasare a great source for energy. And the nutella

    and nuts contain protein and marshmallowsare sweets.

    (more of an enjoyable treatrather than a meal but it has

    carbs, fruits/fiber and protein)

    Energy Provided( calories: boys (2400) girls(2200) )

    Bananas and Crackers (glucose) provideloads of energy.

    Tastiness Smores are an all-american classic, byadding nutella and bananas, it improves thesweet taste.

    10/10(personally, I love mac andcheese)

    Convenience oftransporting Ingredients

    The crackers will need to be kept in a box toprevent it from breaking, the bananas willneed to be well kept to prevent it from

    bruising.

There is not grill in the campBut this recipe does have its upside ofbeing eaten any time of the day:lunch, dinner, breakfast or evensnacks. Additionally, it containsenough calories, time efficient and isdelicious. It can also be easily

    adapted meaning other ingredientslike cheese can be added toimprove the taste and it can begrilled using a charcoal grill, firedampor normal pan.

    An alternative to this recipe is to servethe potatoes as a side dish since it is agreat source for energy (carbs &protein) and adding it to another dish(like tuna salad) will make the mealmore balanced and nutritious since itneeds more carbs. Also fewerpotatoes can ease transportingthem.

    Summary 2

    In conclusion, Mac andCheese may not be the mostnutritious dish to eat since a lot

    of the ingredients areprocessed (sauce, noodles,sausages, cheese). Also, thereare no vegetables, wholegrains and fruits enough for abalanced and nutritional meal.It is more of a dish to eat for

    pleasure at home.On the other hand, this dishprovides a lot of calories and itvery convenient and light tocarry. The sausage and cheeseis a great source for protein.

    An alternative recipe to thiswould to add vegetables suchas corn, broccoli to boost thefiber and vegetables of thedish.

    Summary 3

    The campfire paella looks veryappetizing is very nutritious.Also, the dish contains a lot of

    protein, vegetables andcarbohydrates. This dish can be

    served with rich or pasta.

    But it does have its setbacks ofthe amount of ingredients thatmake it hard to transport

    conveniently and lightly. Allequipment required is a

    spatula, pan and burner whichwe already have.

    An alternative to this would beto minimize the ingredientsused, maybe only prawns, tofu,

    rice, vegetables andseasoning. The seasoning canbe prepared from home so itseasier to transport and cook.

    Summary 4

    The Mushroom and CornQuesadillas seemed the most idealfor a campfire meal. This is because

    it contains nearly all the 5 foodgroups and there is a reasonablebalance between them. I chose toanalyze this renowned Mexican dishsince it would be fun to eat andmake.

    The fillings and the tortilla shellprovides a lot of fiber (for digestive

    system), proteins and potassium.Furthermore, this dish requires acamp stove (that we have) andingredients that can beconveniently transported (all smalland light).

    This recipe can be easily improved,possibly by adding more anddifferent fillings such as ham (toincrease protein) or even tomatoesfor personal preference. The tortillashell can even be whole grain!

    Summary 5

    I think that Nutella BananaSmores are a great camp treatthat provides energy and is

    relatively nutritious for a sweetdessert since it contains nuts,bananas, crackers, etc.

    I find this recipe kind of complex,it may be easier to just put thenutella, nuts and banana on the2 crackers, heat the marshmallowand place it into the crackers.

    It would be more convenient tocreate this snack over a campfire.

    *A green, unripe banana shouldbe taken so by a couple of daysthe banana should be ripe andready to go*

    To improve this, dark chocolatecan be substituted instead ofnutella for energy (seen in myresearch) and more fruits likeberries and apples can beadded.

    This tables presents that the quesadillas recipe is the most suitable

    for WOWs as it followed most specifications
