Practical cooking demonstrations and commentary explains where the common ingredients for salads come from, where they are grown, why they are used and what they add to the finished dish. Salads are very varied and this clip shows how to make Caesar salad, Waldorf salad and Greek salad. It explains the history of each dish, the distinct combination of ingredients and flavours that make them up. It shows how cucumbers are grown in controlled conditions, why they are harvested straight and how they are mainly water. It shows how onions are grown and harvested, and why onions makes us cry.
This clip is from the BBC series The Secret Life of our Favourite Dishes; a cooking show that adds a splash of science and a few grams of history to uncover the secrets behind some of our most well-loved dishes. From the true colour of carrots to how to spot the difference between kinds of cows, why onions make us cry to the magic behind growing straight cucumbers, Stefan Gates reveals where our food comes from and how it is made. Amongst the favourite foods served up, Stefan cooks a healthy version of fish and chips, a scrumptious spaghetti bolognese and a spicy chicken curry.

Teaching Design and Technology, Food Technology or Food Preparation and Nutrition?
Pupils could make the salads shown. They could taste some prepared salads and compare them with home-made ones (coleslaw, bean salad, rice salad) for cost, nutritional value and flavour. They can decide who they would be suitable for, when they would be eaten, what ingredients have been used and why, and exploring how they have been made. Pupils could choose from a range of salad ingredients to create a salad suitable for a particular person or occasion - they could make a salad to be served at the school lunch salad bar that meets the School Food Standards.
This clip will be relevant for teaching Design and Technology and/or Food Technology at KS2 and KS3 in England and Wales, and 2nd and 3rd level in Scotland.
