Why Did you choose to prepare this dish?

I chose this dish because we made it in Foods this year and was one of my favourites. It tastes good although it might be very basic, but scrambled eggs are one of my favourite breakfast meals. I had just a little to much salt, so I had to figure out a way to use up all the salt I had. I thought why not add just a bit more salt to the eggs and at the end, they turned out perfect and just the right amount of salt. In my household, there are a number of ingredients I could’ve used. For instance, I decided to not put in pepper because I already put a tiny more salt in my dish and didn’t want it the taste of the eggs to be over run by salt and pepper.

Is there a story about the dish or recipe?

I attempted to recreate Ms. Deck’s recipe on scrambled eggs that she gave to us in class. She demonstrated this in front of us. I felt like I can make this dish easily as it seemed pretty simple enough. My mom makes me scrambled eggs almost every weekend and just always showed me how to make them. This showed how good and well made they are.

Did you have to make changes to the recipe?

I did have to make changes because of the salt added to the eggs. This caused me to not put in pepper as it would be to many spices. It would result in the egg being tasteless. This had an effect on the eggs as it had no peppery taste, only salt and egg. Next time I make this I will consider putting less salt and some pepper.

How did everything turn out?

When I make something my family is always impressed that I have cooked something, but they wanted me to take this foods class so I can learn how to cook. When they say me cooking they were shocked and surprised. I only cooked eggs once before not knowing Ms. Deck’s recipe and it did not turn out the best, but now while cooking her recipe, it tasted and looked cooked. Wasn’t over or under, but just at the right amount. Although my family and I found it really good, I would change to putting more pepper because I am a pepper guy and love the taste.

What Did you learn?

The mistakes I made was again putting to much salt, causing me to lose the pepper. Although I love pepper, the eggs without it were just as good. I learnt that Ms. Deck gives some of the best recipes you can find. I’d have to say these eggs were one of the best I have tasted so far. I grew from being not confident about my cooking to now being very confident and hopefully in the future I can make some of Ms. Deck’s awesome recipes.

On the left there you can see me cooking the eggs and on the right is my finished product. This took barely any time, but I just woke up and was dead tired, so I got my mom to wake up and take a picture then she went right back to sleep.

On the left is the salt I used and on the right is the tiny amount of oil. One time I cooked the eggs I didn’t put enough oil in the pan, so I got the eggs stuck, but it all worked out at the end.

Recipe:

• salt
• 3 eggs
• a tiny bit oil in the pan
• pepper
