Summary
On successful completion of this unit, the student will have greater awareness of foods
produced in different countries, and then concentrate on one specific country.
Outcomes
1. Identify a range of traditional foodstuffs used in one specified country.
2. Investigate a range of traditional dishes produced in the specified country.
3. Produce a range of traditional dishes from the specified country.
Recommended Entry
While entry is at the discretion of the centre, students would find it advantageous to have
attained:
• Standard Grade Home economics at General level
• a course or units in Hospitality or Home Economics at Intermediate 1
• other appropriate of catering-related units, or
• equivalent industrial experience.
Credit Value
1 credit at intermediate 2.
Core Skills
It is unlikely that attainment of this unit would lead to the automatic award of a particular
core skill. A final statement will be provided at a later date by the Scottish Qualifications
Authority, once full validation procedures are complete. The Subject Guide indicates how
learning and teaching methods commonly used in this subject can permit core skills
components to be claimed. This will require evidence of attainment to be gathered and held
for moderation, using relevant dedicated core skills units.
Performance criteria
a. The identified range of traditional foodstuffs is correct for the specified country.
b. The characteristics of a range of ingredients which have been identified for the specified
country are described.
Evidence requirements
Evidence must be provided to show that the students have carried out detailed research to
identify a range of foodstuffs particular to a specified country, the range being herbs, spices,
cereals, pulses, meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruit, dairy products.
The evidence should be provided in report form integrated with he requirements of
Outcome 2.
OUTCOME 2
Investigate a range of traditional dishes produced in the specified country.
Performance criteria
a. The identified range of dishes produced in the specified country is correct.
b. The characteristics of the range of dishes which have been identified for the specified
country are described.
Evidence requirements
Evidence must be provided, in report form, that having selected foodstuffs from a specified
country the student has identified a range of dishes particular to the chosen country.
At least five dishes must be identified, each from a different category of the following: cold
dishes, soups, meat dishes, fish dishes, rice dishes, pasta dishes, vegetable dishes, potato
dishes, salads, sweets, pastries, breads.
OUTCOME 3
Produce a range of traditional dishes from the specified country.
Performance criteria
a. The dishes produced are of an acceptable, edible standard.
b. Dishes are accurate in terms of those traditionally produced in the specified country.
c. Dishes are produced in a safe and hygienic manner.
Evidence requirements
Evidence must be provided to show that the student has produced, on at least one occasion,
the different dishes identified in outcome 2
The evidence should be recorded on a structured observation checklist.
The practical activity should reflect the information gathered by the student for their chosen
country.
Outcomes 1 and 2 require an investigative approach with the student receiving structured
indicators and references. Help should be given when selecting the specified country –
available information and resources must be taken into account and may result in a limited
choice range being stated. Where possible , the student should be given a free hand when
selecting the country but must be able to indicate that all information required is realistically
available.
Outcome 3 is a practical outcome and should bring together the findings of the investigation
which was completed within Outcomes 1 and 2.
The student should record the information acquired within this unit in a log/diary format.
Introduction
This unit introduces students to traditional foodstuffs and dishes from other countries and to
the factors which influence them, for example geography, climate and culture. The unit also
introduces the characteristics of foodstuffs.
Following the introduction, students will investigate the traditional foodstuffs and dishes
from a country of their choice. Students will select and prepare a range of these traditional
dishes. The results of investigative work will be presented in report form.
This unit has been written as a free-standing unit, but may be integrated within the
Hospitality Practical Cookery (Int 2).
The students will be provided with an outline of the unit and the performance criteria.
The main emphasis of this unit is the production of the student report and associated choice
practical lessons, however, there is a range of suggested tasks and non-assessed practicals to
support the teaching of this unit.
The assessment items for this unit are a student report and a structured observational
checklist.
A standard classroom will be required for the remainder to enable research and report
writing with teacher/lecturer support. Audiovisual facilities may be required.
Access to a range of resources will be necessary, e.g. the department library, the school/
college library, local libraries, and the use of Internet and CD-ROM facilities, if available.
IT facilities may be useful for students in the production of the written report.
The teacher/lecturer should introduce the unit with a selection of books and videos to
complement the background information if possible. The students will be provided with
background information and will complete associated introductory tasks and suggested
practical lessons if desired. This will provide them with background knowledge and
exemplar material on which to base their own investigative work. It will also allow for
practical work to take place in the early stages of the unit to motivate students.
The format of the report and exemplar proformas should be introduced at an early stage so
that students know what is expected of them. Students should choose a country for
investigation as soon as possible to allow them to begin their search for suitable resources.
The teacher will require to guide candidates if necessary towards a suitable country for
investigation.
The suggested scheme of work makes provision for students’ ongoing supported research
and carrying out of chosen practical activities whilst providing a suggested range of tasks
and practicals to provide background knowledge.
A range of suggested tasks, in the form of optional worksheets, provide extension tasks
where required.
The following standard texts, which provide some general information on a range of
commodities, may be useful:
The following texts would be particularly valuable as general reference books covering a
wide range of foodstuffs or/and countries:
Bailey, Adrian 1994 Dorling Kindersley Dorling Excellent reference book – fairly
Encyclopedia of Kindersley concise information on a wide
Cooks’ Ingredients range of ingredients
Ridgewell, Jenny 1986 Food Around The World Oxford A little dated and very brief in all
aspects but useful for less able
students or as an introduction
Grigson, Sophie 1993 Ingredients Book Mitchell A good reference book – fairly
detailed information on a good
range of ingredients
Ortiz, 1992 The Encyclopedia of Dorling An excellent reference book –
Elizabeth Lambert 1992 Herbs, Spices and Kindersley detailed information on traditional
Flavourings foodstuffs from a range of countries
Ward, Suzie 1997 The Gourmet Atlas Apple A very good reference book – useful
for the teacher/lecturer to check
sources
The following texts would be particularly useful for providing information on specific
traditional foodstuffs:
Hom, Ken 1994 Ken Hom’s Pavilion Books Excellent – detailed information on
Chinese Kitchen Chinese ingredients and recipes
Bharadnaj, 1996 The Indian Pantry Kyle Cathie Ltd A good book – ideal layout for
research – fairly detailed
information on commodities with
traditional recipes for each
Various 1997 The Italian Cooking Anness Pub. Ltd. Excellent – detailed information

The following videos are informative, up-to-date and cover both traditional foodstuffs and
recipe preparation:
Ken Hom Cooks Chinese, BBC videos (£6.99)
Valentina Harris Cooks Italian, BBC videos (£6.99)
Other TV series, e.g. Antonio Carluccio’s Italian Feast, would be interesting and useful to
students investigating other countries.
The following format/headings may be useful when compiling a list of resources available
within your school/college:

Suitable for 20 x 2 hour sessions (or could be adapted for 40 x 1 hour or to suit time
allocation, as appropriate).
The suggested practicals for each country may be used in order to incorporate practical
sessions over the first few weeks of this module until students are ready to carry out their
chosen practicals for Outcome 3
The workbook provides the required background information but it should be noted that the
suggested tasks are optional and may be used if desired to illustrate the background
information.
Sessions 2/3
If students have not had an induction from school/college library it would be appropriate at
this stage in order to facilitate investigative research using a variety of sources.
Session 4
Other sessions are explained in fuller detail in the overview on previous page.

Main factors
which influence
traditional foodstuffs
in different countries
One of the most stimulating aspects of studying food is sampling new foodstuffs and dishes.
Why do you think foreign foods are so popular in Britain today?
The following headings can be used to describe in detail the characteristics of a particular
foodstuff. Not all headings will be appropriate for all foodstuffs. Remember to choose
foodstuffs to investigate that you can find detailed information on.
Quality or types the list of types, range of qualities, grades or varieties available,
including convenience forms
Origin Potatoes are the underground tuber of a plant from the solanum
family. A single plant may produce several kilos of potatoes
Production New potatoes are harvested from early May onwards and the main
crop from September onwards
Quality or types Vegetables are graded by the European Union as follows:
Extra class – top quality
Class 1 – good quality
Class 2 – reasonable quality
Class 3 – low marketable quality
Choose firm, unblemished potatoes which are evenly sized and
shaped. The skin of different types of potatoes can vary in colour
from pale gold to pink to dark brown depending on the variety. The
colour of the flesh can also vary from white or cream through to
deep, soft yellow. The texture of the cooked potato tends to fall into
four categories: floury, firm, waxy or salad.
These characteristics determine their suitability for end uses:
• all-purpose varieties include King Edward’s, Maris Piper and
Pentland Hawk
• baking varieties include Estima, Golden Wonder, Pentland Dell and
Pentland Squire
• salad varieties include Jersey Royal and Pink Fir Apple
• good chipping varieties include Maris Piper and Pentland Dell
• convenience forms include canned, frozen, cook-chill products,
crisps, etc.
Storage Store fresh potatoes in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place because
light will cause them to develop green patches
Properties Potatoes are an economical and filling staple food used to add bulk
to the diet.
Nutritional value Potatoes are composed of about 80% water and about 19% starchy
carbohydrate which provides energy in the diet
New potatoes provide vitamin C
Potatoes are also a useful source of non-starch polysaccaride if the
skins are eaten
Uses Potatoes are extremely versatile. They can be boiled or baked in their
skins or peeled and mashed, roasted sauteed or fried.
China covers a vast area of eastern Asia with drastic variations in geography and climate
from that of the Gobi desert in the north to the fertile river valleys of the south. The contrasts
in geography and climate have led to a diverse range of traditional foodstuffs and cooking
styles. There are four major cooking styles in the north, south, east and west. China is about
the same size as the USA but has a population of about four times higher.
Culture
China is one of the poorest countries in the world and consequently the Chinese people are
very economical in their choice and use of foodstuffs. One in five of the world’s population
lives in China and over half of them live and work on the land. The pressures of such a large
population has meant that every patch of fertile soil is used for agriculture and that demand
for food has always exceeded supply.
Traditional foodstuffs
Rice is the staple food in the south, where it is grown, and noodles made from wheat are the
staple in the drier north and west. Many Chinese follow a mainly vegetarian diet eating meat
only once or twice a week, partly because of the lack of suitable land for grazing, which
means that chickens, ducks and pigs are more popular with farmers, and because religions
such as Buddhism encourage this type of diet. However, the long coastline plus many rivers
and lakes has meant that fish plays an important part in the Chinese diet.
Cooking traditions
Chinese food has a distinctive appearance, taste and smell.
The Chinese believe that each food ingredient has either yin (cooling), yang (heating) or yin
yang (neutral) properties. Yin foods include duck, crab and bean sprouts. Yang foods include
most meats, prawns, lobster, herbs, garlic and chilli, whilst rice and Chinese vegetables are
neutral.
Chinese taste buds recognise five tastes: salty, sweet, sour, bitter and peppery hot. Most
Chinese dishes include combinations of these flavour, e.g. sweet and sour pork.
A major feature of Chinese cooking is ‘waste not, want not’ and so they tend to eat
everything, including skin and offal, and always use the bones for stock. This rule also
applies to their use of fuel and so stir frying, where food is cut into small pieces which can
be cooked quickly is the most popular method of cooking.
Suggested practicals
Try out Chinese cooking methods and dishes:
• egg fried rice
• stir-fry chicken noodles.

Culture
Around 70% of Indians work in agriculture and more than 50% are vegetarian: this is because
many are too poor to buy meat and also because religion has a very strong influence on the
Indian diet. There are hundreds of different religions, many with their own customs and taboos.
For example, Hindus and Sikhs are prohibited from eating beef. Alcohol is also taboo.
Traditional foodstuffs
Fish is readily available in the east around the Bay of Bengal and coconuts grow here in the
hot and humid climate. Pulses and vegetables are grown in the west where the people are
mainly vegetarian. Breads are preferred in the north where wheat is grown, and cattle and
sheep are reared, making lamb a popular choice. Ghee (clarified butter) is also used here.
Local market stalls sell a wide variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices in towns or
villages.
Cooking traditions
Good food depends on quality as well as skill and Indians much prefer to eat at home where
they are assured of quality. Indian cooking is the most aromatic type of cooking because of
the use of spices: masalas or spice mixtures are the essence of Indian cooking. Spices are
traditionally ground by hand and blended according to old family recipes. Spicy foods do
not need to be hot, it is the use of chillies which make the food hot. The word curry means a
sauce, whereas madras means hot. Hot and spicy foods are served in hot, humid climates to
encourage perspiration which helps to lower body temperature. Tandoori food is marinated
in yogurt and spices and cooked in a tandoor oven.
Suggested tasks
Find out more about the influence of religion on traditional eating patterns.
Draw up a chart to show the influence of different religions on the eating habits of the population.

Japan is made up of four main islands and 3000 smaller, mainly uninhabited, ones. The region
is an earthquake zone and about 75% of the country is mountainous and covered in forests,
forcing the population to live on the coastal plains. This small area suitable for habitation is
covered in cities, factories and rice fields – the countryside is a patchwork of paddy fields
and there are there are even paddies between the houses in the suburbs of Tokyo. There is
little space left for vegetable growing or grazing.
Culture
Until 100 years ago the Japanese were mainly Buddhist and therefore did not eat meat.
Today, because of the lack of suitable grazing land, they still tend to eat very little meat.
The Japanese tend to shop daily and rely mainly on fresh, local, seasonal produce for their
cuisine. Japanese food is generally very healthy and low in cholesterol, which means they
have a very low rate of heart disease; however, the higher rates of salt in seasonings
contribute to hypertension. Seafood and seaweed are widely used and are rich in minerals.
Traditional foodstuffs
The Japanese are a nation of islanders and fish and seafood play a major part in their diet.
They also eat raw fish if it is exceptionally fresh.
Seaweed is also an important product and is both gathered and cultivated.
Because of the lack of suitable arable land the Japanese are very resourceful and tend to
gather seasonal produce where possible, e.g. wild mushrooms and edible plants.
Cooking traditions
The philosophy of Japanese cooking is simple, artistic presentation and respect for ingredients,
ensuring each flavour in every dish is brought out to the full extent. They rely on high
quality ingredients which are simply cooked and lightly seasoned or served raw. This results
in a very clean fresh flavour. The Japanese believe that it is logical to add seasonings to a
dish in the following order so that they can be properly absorbed by the foodstuffs: sa (sugar),
shi (salt), su (vinegar), se (soy sauce), and so (miso paste). Kaiseki chefs place great
importance on the arrangement of food on the plate and will spend a lot of time arranging a
small amount of a variety of ingredients on the plate. They are also very aware of the four
seasons and this is reflected in their choice of food.
Suggested tasks
Tofu is widely used in Japan and China. Find out what tofu is and how it is used.
Spain covers a diverse area from mountain ranges to plains. Each area yields different
foodstuffs and consequently different traditional dishes. In the north there is more rain so
crops can be grown and land here is suitable for grazing, while in the south, where it is much
hotter, there are fertile orchards where oranges are grown. Olives grow well in the drier
areas but little flourishes in the central plateau where the climate is more extreme.
Culture
Spain’s long history has been influenced by many countries and the Spanish have taken
readily to new ingredients and cultures. In recent years much of the population has moved
away from the countryside to the cities and industrial centres.
Traditional foodstuffs
The Spanish consume the largest quantity of olive oil in the world. This oil is produced by
crushing olives which grow well in the hot, dry conditions. Cheese is produced from sheep’s
milk in the central plains which provide rough grazing. The Mediterranean vegetables, e.g.
tomatoes, onions, peppers and garlic, grow well in more fertile areas and feature strongly in
Spanish cooking. Parsley is used in large quantities and nuts are also popular in sauces.
Spain exports olive oil, citrus fruits and sherry.
Cooking traditions
Spanish cooking is simple – it is basically a peasant cuisine which uses fresh local produce
and relies on making a little (often of fairly poor quality) go a long way. Spanish dishes tend
to have natural flavours and are presented in a straightforward manner without fancy sauces
or dressings. The Spanish judge a dish on its flavour and not the presentation.
Suggested tasks

Find out how olive oil is produced and draw up a table showing the different types you can
buy and the cost per 100 ml.

Chow mein
In Chinese chow means to stir fry and mein means noodles, so chow mein means stir fry
noodles. Chow mein can be served as a snack or as part of a meal. Stir frying involves
heating a small amount of oil in a wok, which is designed to focus the heat in the centre of
the pan which shortens the cooking time and so uses less fuel.

1 clove garlic
1 piece red pepper
2 mushrooms
2 spring onions
50 g bean sprouts
1 x 15 ml oil

2 x 15 ml soy sauce
Method
1. Cut the chicken into thin strips. Crush or chop garlic.
2. Wash the pepper and cut into thin strips. Wash and slice the mushrooms.
3. Wash the spring onions and cut diagonally into 2.5 cm strips. Rinse the bean sprouts in a

Rice
In China rice is not considered as a dish but is usually served as a bulk food to accompany
the other dishes. Rice is usually served plain, boiled or steamed. The Chinese help
themselves to small amounts of the main dishes with their chopsticks placing the food in
their own rice bowl before lifting this to their mouth and eating small amounts at a time.
Fried rice is served if there is a shortage of savoury dishes or to use up leftover scraps of
meat or vegetables.

Pizza
Pizza was invented by a back street Neapolitan baker as the original fast food. It was sold as
a sort of hot sandwich to passers-by from the doorway of the shop. Pizza dough is just
ordinary bread dough enriched with olive oil. The pizza bases are traditionally thinner and
crispier in the south and thicker in the north. Pizza is traditionally cooked in a wood-burning
oven at a very high temperature which cooks very quickly.
The most popular pizza is the Pizza Margherita which is named after the nineteenth-century
Queen of Italy.
