Throwback Monday to when my students made super cool videos

Hi, my fellow "master procrastinators". As I have been receiving a lot of super belated questions on how to make the videos you are supposed to hand in on Thursday, I decided to include an example from a previous year and some comments.



1) As you have seen, the video is a cooking programme like the ones in the Gourmet Channel where you must answer the 10 questions from "The Scientific Chef" WHILE COOKING. Please, add subtitles because sometimes the sound is not very clear. This example video is too long. Make yours between 5 to 7 minutes long.

2) The video IS NOT about the menu, which has to be handed in in a computer file following all the guidances on any practical work (A4 paper, references, cover, badge etc). The menu has to include the dishes you designed and the explanation on why you included those ingredients. (please, write the names of the different courses correctly)


3) The chart can be done in a real chart and photographed or digitally. Don't use charts from internet because the group that cheats will get an #InstantOne


Please, be creative! Quarantine is already boring and dreadful... I gave you almost a month in the hope that you would make something really cool to make my day.

See you on Thursday at 10!!!

PS: This is the complete chart we worked on last class.


And the #Challenge: 
1) Which is the only diet (as a way of eating, not of losing weight) that has scientific proved endorsement? 
2) What kind of food does it include? Why?
3) Why is it that any diet highlighted in yellow is bad for us? Why shouldn't we leave meat out of our dish???

#Challenge2

There are so many wrong ideas in this message I have recived that I can't even start correcting it. Can you do it for me??

To Eat or Not to Eat,That's The BIG Question

Hi, 4th yeaaaarrr!!! I spent last weekend with the Master on Neuroscience online classes. (Yeah, I DO get bored, too!)



 But on Saturday morning we talked a lot about... FOOD and BRAIN. The nutritionist that was delivering the class talked a lot about DIETS so I remembered you and  the two missing groups that have complete the chart for me (and send it to me, please).

We were also discussing on Saturday how a misunderstood study (or a totally prepared marketing campaign) made us believe (and use and teach) the benefits of the FOOD PYRAMID for a long time.

but...



So, which balanced meal plan should we use???

I'm also leaving here a great TED talk by my favourite chef JAMIE OLIVER. Although it's a bit old, his concepts are absolutely correct!!






OMG! My cellphone alarm is telling me my loaves of bread should be ready!
See you on Thursday!!!
