BUTTER
1. What is butter? A pale yellow edible fatty substance made by churning cream and used as a spread
or in cooking.
2.What is it made from? milk
3.Describe how butter is used-in a domestic situation and a commercial situation? its mostly used as a spread on bread and other food.
4.Describe the production method of making butter? Analyse the ‘emulsion’ process involved in the production. you get milk cream and churn it intill its hard.
5. Why do chefs use a mixture of butter and oil when they are cooking- panfrying, sautéing? because butter keeps things slipprey and less likely to stick also it tastes better than full on oil
6. Describe the difference between butter and margarine. Analyse after doing the research which product is better to consume using these factors:- taste, health benefits, cost. margarine contains less saturated fat than butter so it is healther and does'nt thicken the blood flow as much
or in cooking.

FLouR
1.What is flour? A powder obtained by grinding grain, typically wheat, and used to make bread,
cakes, and pastry.
2.What is it made from? Weat List all the different sorts of flour/s that are available.Plain flour ,Self-raising flour ,Enriched flour ,Unbleached flour ,Bleached flour
3.Describe the difference between wholemeal and white flour. Whole-wheat flour is used in baking of breads and other baked goods, and also typically mixed with other lighter "white" unbleached or bleached floursMore wheat flour is produced than any other flour. Wheat varieties are called clean, white, or brown or strong or hard if they have high gluten content, and they are called soft or weak flour if gluten content is low.
4.Why are foods made with wholemeal flour better for us? it has less perservitives added so its more fresh and heathy.
5.Describe the differences between all-purpose flour, self-rising flour, cake flour and Hard (Durum) flour? Self raising flour has
6.List three dishes or recipes that are made from each flour.
Pasta = Hard flour
blackforrest = Cakefour
Scones = Self raising Flour
Bread = All porpose four
cakes, and pastry.

Sugar
1.What is sugar?A sweet crystalline substance obtained from various plants, esps. sugar cane and sugar beet, consisting essentially of sucrose, and used as a sweetener in food and drink
2.Sugar is made from two plants-name the plants and describe the processes for each plant used to create sugar.Sugars are found in the tissues of most plants but are only present in sufficient concentrations for efficient extraction in sugarcane and sugar beats.
3.Read about the different types of sugar choose 2 types that you had not heard of and complete a brief description of them.maltease is formed during the germination of certain grains, most notably barley. A molecule of maltose is formed by the combination of two molecules of glucose. It is less sweet than glucose, fructose or sucrose.
4.Sugar has been used in baking for centuries. Describe how sugar improves the appeal of a baked product. Make sure you mention the nine reasons why and give an example of each. it makes it more sweet
What is issue with eating foods with too much sugar in them? it decays teath and it fatten you up.

Vanilla
1.Describe where vanilla essence comes from. vanilla bean
2.Describe the process of making vanilla essence.Vanilla, is the fruit of a thick green orchid vine (v. planifolia) that grows wild on the edge of the Mexican tropical forests. The vines, when grown wild, will grow up to the top of tall trees in the jungle. Commercially, the vines are pruned for a few reasons. One, is that the vines will not flower until they stop growing. And two, the vines need to be at a height where workers can reach them. Once the vines stop growing they produce clusters of buds that eventually develop into orchids, up to 1000 flowers for one vine. Not all the flowers are hand pollinated though. They are thinned out so as to guarantee good quality beans, albeit fewer in quantity. After hand pollination, the flowers develop into long thin green pods or beans that can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) long. Average length is about 8 inches long. These tasteless and odorless green pods are hand picked when they are still not ripe and then the fermentation process begins. The beans are first plunged into hot water and then the 'drying' and 'sweating' process starts. The beans are dried in the sun during the day and then wrapped in the blankets at night so they can sweat. This process can last anywhere from 2 to 6 months until the beans become a very dark brown color and develop a white crystalline substance (or frost) on the outside of the bean, called vanillin. The vanillin is what gives the beans their wonderful flavor and aroma and these beans are prized. At this point the beans are aged to bring out their full flavor, and this can take up to two years. Once dried and cured the vanilla pods need to be kept airtight to retain their wonderful flavor.
What sorts of dishes is vanilla used in? Sweet and savoury Most good dishes such as cakes
