SUGGESTED READING ROUTES

BBE / THE BAKING NOTEBOOK

Begin with a question.
Follow the reference.

Three short routes through the notebook. These organise reading rather than an approved curriculum, qualification or practical sequence.

A

A SUGGESTED ROUTE

Read the whole reference

For keeping a recipe, its photograph and your interpretation distinct.

Read the complete recipe before the result
Keep the intended result, ingredients and complete method in the same reading.
A photograph cannot supply the missing method
Read a finished image for what it can show without inventing the recipe outside its frame.
The source and your interpretation are different records
Keep what the reference says distinct from the explanation you bring to it.

B

A SUGGESTED ROUTE

Ask about an ingredient

For reading a source explanation and the scope of a proposed comparison.

Ingredients as questions about function
Read the role described by the source before turning an ingredient into a replacement rule.
One changed ingredient is still a question
Keep the proposed change separate from the explanation you hope it will confirm.
Read the complete recipe before the result
Keep the intended result, ingredients and complete method in the same reading.

C

A SUGGESTED ROUTE

Keep a useful learning record

For observation, feedback and a question to return to.

A foundation learning record
Separate the reference, the activity and your own observation so the note remains useful later.
Keep the feedback beside the activity
A comment is easier to use when the task and your understanding remain visible.
The source and your interpretation are different records
Keep what the reference says distinct from the explanation you bring to it.

The route can change
when the question does.

Return to the complete collection when a source opens a different point. Keep the responsible provider’s actual guidance and requirements in view.
