Hi,
Our chef is currently reflecting on her day but I want to know how we could get her to critically reflect. Do you have any questions or prompts that could guide a chef's reflections?
Thankyou,
Jess

I am a cook in a childcare centre. These are just a few that I came up with off the top of my head.

* Did i provide tasty, healthy food today?
* Did I document safe food practices and implement them accordingly?
* Did I meet the dietary requirements of all the children?
* Did I fulfill cultural and religious requirements of families in relation to the children's diets?
* Did I check all allergy and other dietary requirements and label them clearly?
* How could I improve my organisational skills?
* How can I ensure that children with allergies are safe when eating prepared lunches?

I am passionate about the work that cooks do in childcare centres. I am very interested in ways of improving the procedures for cooks in childcare centres and the conditions and training provided. I have submitted a post to the forum (currently pending). Keep an eye out for it, it has not yet been approved but I expect it will be up shortly.

I hope this helps
