Using the Iron Chef TV show format, your culminating activity is to: > Evaluation is:
 * 1) 1. Select, plan and prepare two dishes which will be judged by celebrity judges (the admin and a local food critic) and evaluated by your teacher.
 * 2) 2. Write an in-class reflection.

Iron Chef food lab = 10% of Knowledge, Thinking & Application (using Iron Chef York Mills rubric)

Reflection = 5% Communication (using Reflection rubric)

Your group will make two dishes, which feature the "secret ingredient". Your secret ingredient will reflect the growing interest in the 'locavore' movement, organics and sustainable agriculture (refer to links for more information).

Locavores: Defining the Local Food Movement  & Advantages of Eating Locally .

Your budget is $25.00 for both dishes. Your teacher will provide each group with the secret ingredient. Any "practice" ingredients are up to you. You will be required to purchase your own ingredients and submit receipts to Mr. De Rosario in the main office.

Steps required to do this activity are as follows and will be monitored:
 * Read and summarize the Locavorism and local farm/CSA material provided by the teacher, which will help you to put the assignment into context and give you a starting point for your in-class reflection (individual)
 * Establish your group (class)
 * Watch and informally critique an episode of the Iron Chef (individual)
 * Choose your dishes and source your recipes (group)
 * Determine CFG categories and nutritional targets per recipe (group)
 * Plan your plating techniques and costume ideas (group)
 * Prepare a complete and accurate grocery list (group)
 * Complete time plan that allows you to finish your challenge in the time allowed and that equitably shares responsibilities (group)
 * Prepare your dishes, strictly adhering to time limits
 * Submit a complete lab package (details below)

On lab day, you will have 45 minutes to cook and plate your food, 10 minutes for the judging, and 15 minutes for clean up. Time limits must be strictly followed! If your presentation date falls on a late start date, you will have 10 minutes for clean up instead, please take this into account during your planning.

You will be evaluated by your teacher using the Food Lab Evaluation rubric. Like all labs, it is an individual mark. You will complete a peer evaluation in your final lab package. As well, your meal will be judged by your peers and the celebrity judges for plating, taste and creativity, using criteria we develop as a class after watching an episode of Iron Chef. Scores will be added up to determine an overall winner. (This is not necessarily related to your overall evaluation and mark!)

The lab package submitted AT THE BEGINNING OF THE IRON CHEF COMPETITION must include:
 * A copy of each of the recipes used
 * Plating ideas
 * Costume ideas
 * CFG/Nutrition plan
 * An itemized list of expenditures (a copy of your receipts)
 * Your grocery list
 * Your time plan
