NOTE: For each answer, round to 1 decimal EXCEPT money ($) which will ALWAYS be 2 decimals (ex. $20.03). Failure to round properly will lose you ½ mark per answer.

 

Tasks:

Step 1 – Identify the CNF # for each of the foods listed and record on the table below

NOTE: Be sure to use the CNF item that is CLOSEST to the product identified

Cucumber, sliced                   2363                                      

Green peppers, diced          2413                                      

Tomatoes, chopped              2460                                      

Sweet onion, sliced              5414                                             

Feta Cheese, crumbled         –

Medium-sized olives              1613

 

Step 2 – Change the recipe into metric. and the appropriate unit for whether it is a liquid or a solid, above or below 1 kg.

 

Ingredient                               Amount:                                      Amount in metric weight

Cucumber, sliced                    2 cups                                      251.4 g

 

Green peppers, diced            2 cups                                        314.8 g

 

Tomatoes, chopped                2.5 cups                                     475.5 g
 

Sweet onion, sliced               1 cup                                           121.5 g

 

Feta Cheese, crumbled           ½ lb                                          250.0 g

 

Medium-sized olives                 ½ cup                                       71.4 g

 

Step 3 -Identify the conversion factor needed to ensure all your residents get a portion. __________

Next, expand the recipe (ie. How much would you need to make to serve all your residents?)

 

Ingredient                           Amount in metric weight       Conversion factor      Amount to feed all residents (kg)

 

Cucumber, sliced                        251.4 g                      15.6                                     3.9 kg

 

Green peppers, diced                314.8 g                       15.6                                   4.9 kg

 

Tomatoes, chopped                   475.5 g                       15.6                                    7.4 kg

 

Sweet onion, sliced                    121.5 g                       15.6                                 1.9 kg

 

Feta Cheese, crumbled              250.0 g                       15.6                                    3.9 kg

 

Medium-sized olives                  71.4 g                        15.6                                       1.1 kg

 

Step 4 – Calculate the cost of the recipe as if you were to purchase all the ingredients EP or pre-prepared (ex. Chopped, sliced, crumbled or diced) using the vendor price list at the end of this document.

 

Ingredient                            Amount to feed all residents       Price (EP)      Total cost of ingredient

 

Cucumber, sliced                    3.9 kg                          $4.85/1kg          $18.92

Green peppers, diced              4.9 kg                         $2.60/1kg           $12.74

Tomatoes, chopped                  7.4 kg                         $7.85/1kg          $52.17

Sweet onion, sliced                   1.9 kg                         $3.14/1kg          $5.97

Feta Cheese, crumbled            3.9 kg                          $15.99/1kg        $62.36

Medium-sized olives                 1.1 kg                         $51.68/1kg         $56.85

 

Step 5 – Rather than purchasing everything pre-prepared, you want to see if your cook can do the preparation for cheaper. First you need to find out the amount of raw, whole vegetables you would need to purchase to make the recipe.

 

Ingredient                            Amount to feed all residents       Yield     Total whole ingredient to buy (AP)

 

Cucumber, whole                   ?                                                      ?           ?                                 

Green peppers,whole            ?                                                      ?            ?

Medium-sized olives               ?                                                      ?            ?     

 

Step 6 – Calculate the cost of ingredients of this if you were to purchase all the ingredients AP or as whole food ingredients (ex. Nothing pre-prepared, everything chopped, sliced, crumbled, and diced by hand)

 

Ingredient                        Total whole ingredient to buy (AP)     Price(AP)       Total cost of ingredient

 

Cucumber, whole                                     ?                                       ?                       ?

Slicing cucumbers: 1 kg of whole cucumbers takes 5 minutes to slice

Dicing green pepper – 1 kg of whole peppers takes 8 minutes to dice
