NFSC 430: Foodservice Procurement and Management

Skill Areas: Foodservice Management

Assignment Title: Grandma’s Green Bean Casserole

What I Learned: In this assignment I learned the different components that make up a standard recipe and how to convert a standard recipe that yields a small number of servings to serve a large number of people. I also learned how to provide the proper food safety notes for a specific recipe to prevent foodborne illnesses.

Reflection to assignment: This assignment helped me to better understand the importance of each component of a recipe, and how to it relates to real situations in the community.

Relevance to the profession: As a nutrition professional, recipe conversion and standardization, as well as food safety is important in serving any population, but most importantly high-risk populations.
