Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I am baking a treat for a friend's birthday. If I add eggs to butter, flour and sugar, what am I making?

Answer: Sponge cake

When you do cooking, ask an adult to help you with anything that needs a sharp knife, or the oven! Remember, they are not toys and can hurt you.

2. I am making a meal containing beef (or vegetables) plus tomato sauce and pasta. I top it with cheese! What Italian meal am I making?

Answer: Lasagna

Tiramisu is a pudding, but you may not like it: it has alcohol in it, and tastes like coffee. Yuk :( Pizza is Italian, but it isn't made with pasta. Curry is a spice that comes from India, not Italy, and is served with rice usually.

3. I need to make a quiche Lorraine. What do I need to add to my quiche base to make it?

Answer: Bacon/ ham

Quiche (pronounced keesh) Lorraine is a quiche that has bacon or ham added to it. Quiches are tricky to make. Beaten eggs and milk are added to a pastry base, and then any ingredients you want can be added, such as cheese, tomato or even leeks and salmon!

4. I have made a curry, but it is not very hot! Which of these ingredients do I need to add to make my curry hotter?

Answer: Chilies

It can be very dangerous to eat a raw chili. My brother did once and burnt the taste buds off his tongue. A little bit of chili is all that is needed. Always ask an adult to cut up the chilies - and wash your hands after handling them, as they will really hurt if you accidentally get them in your eye.

5. I've decided to make some chicken Kievs for tea. I've got my chicken breasts, but what other two ingredients do I need?

Answer: Garlic butter and breadcrumbs

Chicken Kievs are chicken breasts, filled with garlic butter, and coated in breadcrumbs. Yummy. They are named after the capital of the Ukraine, a country in Europe, which used to be part of the USSR.

6. I'm making a chocolate mousse for a dinner party tonight. Apart from chocolate, which one of the following is another main ingredient that I need?

Answer: Egg white

Proper mousse is made with raw egg. The ones your mum or dad buy from the supermarket contain cooked egg. The egg whites need to be beaten until they turn thick and white, then they can be slowly stirred into the chocolate.

7. I'm making some yummy homemade bread for our tea tonight but I've forgotten the ingredient that makes the bread rise! What is the name of the ingredient that I need to buy from the shop?

Answer: Yeast

Yeast is actually live. It is activated by heat, which is why bread dough is often placed somewhere warm (like an airing cupboard) to rise before cooking. The yeast is what makes the bread turn airy and light.

Answer: Pork liver

Pat� is made from the liver of either pork, chicken, duck, or goose. Lots of herbs and garlic are added to it. It is very, very yummy served on toast. Mmmmm!

9. I am making some chips (fries) for our tea tonight. Which of these methods of cooking my chips is the healthiest?

Answer: Baking

If there is an alternative way to cook your food than frying, always ask your mum or dad to use it. Frying is the most unhealthy way of cooking, as it actually adds fat to your food. Fat in food can cause heart problems and obesity in people over time, if too much is eaten, but some occasionally as a treat won't hurt you.

10. I am making a shepherd's pie for tea tonight. I've made my minced lamb and vegetables. What do I need to put on top of the meat?

Answer: Mashed potato

Shepherd's pie is not made with pastry at all, it is indeed mashed potato. Once the mash is on top of the cooked meat, it needs to be placed in the oven until the potato is crisp and brown. Grated cheese can be added, but it is not the most important ingredient.
Hope you enjoyed my quiz! :)
