that only certain wild mushrooms are edible and others are extremely poisonous. Never pick wild
mushrooms for consumption unless you know for certain that they are edible.
Examples of edible mushrooms
5.1.2. Guidelines for purchasing vegetables:
Buy products that look fresh. Vegetables should not be wilted, bruised or damaged.

Consider buying vegetables in season.

5.1.3 Uses of vegetables
Leafy vegetables such as lettuce and cabbage, outer leaves must be removed.
Green leafy vegetables are washed under cold running tap water.
A colander is used to rinse the leaves and drain in colander or salad spinner.
Use paper towel to dry the leafy vegetables.
For vegetables with a peel use a soft, clean produce brush to scrub the vegetable
under running water and dry with paper towel.
Ideally mushrooms should be wiped with a clean damp cloth, or wash quickly
In cold water and dry with paper towel because soaking too long in water causes water
absorption and mushrooms spoils quicker.

KNIFE SKILLS
5.1.4 Different vegetable cuts and garnishing: uses and related knife skills
A vegetable garnish can be used as a decoration or accompaniment to a prepared food dish.
The garnishes can be used in a variety of ways, a tray of sandwiches can be garnishes with
carrot roses or carrot star, cucumber ribbons can be used to hold vegetables on a plate.
CHOPPED
This means putting your finger and your thumb at the very back of the knife and wrapping your
fingers around the handle. It gives you a firm grip and more control when you're chopping: When
you actually start chopping, don't lay all of your fingers flat.

SLICED
Slice. When you slice something, you are doing exactly as it sounds and slicing your vegetables
means to cut across the grain into thin, uniform pieces.. You are leaving them in long strips, and
some recipes will designate thin slices or wide slices. But typically, you are just cutting vertically on
the vegetables. Almost every fruit or vegetable can be sliced, as well as other ingredients like cheese
and bread.

BRUNOISE (FINE DICE)
A brunoise cut, or a fine brunoise cut, is a traditional French vegetable / fruit cut that produces small,
regular cubes (1/8th inch and 1/16 inch respectively). Typically reserved for special use cases and as
an aromatic garnish, this type of cut creates exceptionally uniform pieces and provides an excellent
boost to a plate’s presentation. Foods that are commonly brunoised include turnips, onions and carrots.

5.4.2 Top tips for purchasing fruit
Buy fruits that are: Avoid Fruits that are:
Firm to the touch Too Soft
Before selecting, give Too hard
produce a light squeeze
If it is ripe, it should give a bit under
pressure.
The right colour Green or under-ripe
Well-Shaped Damaged or bruised. It’s a great
place for bacteria to hide and
spread rapidly to the rest of the
fruit or vegetable. Damaged
produce is less nutritious and less
tasty.
Heavy for the size. Choose smaller Rotten or Mouldy
pieces of fruit. Smaller fruit is
typically sweeter
Smell good. A sweeter fragrance Discoloured
indicates ripeness in your fruit.

Different coloured fruits have varying
nutritional benefits.

5.4.3 Storage of fruit
Storing fruit is quick and easy! You can either freeze,
refrigerate, or even keep them on the countertop
depending on the fruit.
[Source: www. www.goodshomedesign.com]
1. IN A COOL, DRY PLACE
Keep bananas, tomatoes, lemons, and limes in a cool, dry area, not in the fridge.
2. IN THE FRIDGE
Store your apples in the fridge. They soften ten times faster at room temperature.
Most fruits and can be stored in the refrigerator.
A crisper drawer will help protect your produce and keep the moisture in to
maintain freshness for longer.
Plastic bags with tiny vents help keep produce fresh longer by releasing moisture.
They are great for grapes, blueberries, cherries or strawberries.
Store berries in the fridge and wash gently before eating or using.

convenient way to preserve produce at
their peak maturity and nutritional quality.

4. AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
Mangoes, plums, peaches, and pears can be ripened at room temperature in a
brown paper bag and should then be refrigerated for longer storage.
Store pineapple upside down for a day or two at room temperature or in the fridge
to allow the sweetness to spread throughout the fruit.

1. Moist-heat methods: poaching
Pears, apples, peaches, nectarines, plums and apricots are commonly poached fruits.
Figs, grapes, quince and bananas will also poach nicely. Use just enough liquid to cover the fruit. Let
fruit rest in poaching liquid for 20 minutes after cooking to allow the flavour to be absorbed.
2. Dry-heat methods: Frying, grilling or broiling, roasting or baking, and sautéing.
The less time fruit is exposed to heat, the better it retains its shape. Suitable fruits include
apples, apricots, bananas, pineapples, peaches, plums, pears, cherries and figs are excellent
fruits for dry cooking.
Frying requires fruit to be covered in a protective coating from being overcooked e.g. Batter
before frying.

Ripening A process in fruits that causes them to become more palatable. In

softer as it ripens.
Fresh Recently obtained, in a good condition.
