Assignment 1 Results: Innovating with Rice or Orzo


Students in Food and Design had 3 weeks to develop an innovative dish using either rice or orzo. They had basic training in knife skills and some introductory design process lectures.  The following images link to the student blog posts that document their design process.
These are the details on how the blogs were graded: assignment1grades.pdf

Assignment 1 Details

hey class... 
details on the first assignment are posted in lecture 2 slides below, but I wanted to include some more information on what we are looking for in your blog posting. 

your blog post should include the following:

- in general it should be an overview of your design process that includes both text and photos
- documentation of idea generation (list, mind map, brainstorming, SCAMPER, etc) 
- documentation of trying ideas in multiple directions
- documentation of iteration, testing, and refinement of one idea
- a clear description of the final idea and how it is made
- the idea should be related to the theme of innovating either rice or orzo and the idea presented in the blog should be what you create during lab. 

the majority of the grade will be based on your blog documentation but part of the grade will be based on your ability to recreate the dish during lab.  The chefs and reviewers will be giving you a score in lab on creativity and taste and that will make up a small component of your grade. 

also foodie movie coming soon: spinning plates
