Assessment Summary
Read all the instructions below before attempting the assessment task. Assessment tasks are tools used to determine if you have the knowledge and skills to complete tasks to industry standards within the workplace. Your trainer/assessor will help you throughout this task and it is your responsibility to provide enough evidence to justify a competent decision by the trainer/assessor. If you do not understand the questions or what is required, ask your trainer/assessor for assistance. For group assessments, all students are to contribute to the assessment tasks. You can work in groups up to a maximum of four people.
You are to complete all tasks by the due date and assessments must have a coversheet attached. If you think you do not have enough time to complete the tasks by the due date, discuss with the trainer/assessor the reasons of why you cannot submit on time.
Writing your responses
When answering questions, ensure that your answers are detailed enough to so the assessor can draw a conclusion that you have the knowledge and/or skills to demonstrate competency. Handwritten answers must be written in blue or black pen. When producing reports, ensure that your project has a title page, table of contents, page numbers, reference list, ensuring that your answers thoroughly match the questions asked.
Answer all questions in your own words to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is copying someone else’s work or ideas and saying that it your own work. Sources of work must be properly referenced, outlining the source of your ideas. Penalties may include having to resubmit the assessment task again, repeating the Unit of competency, or for repeat plagiarism, expulsion from Australian College of Hospitality & Business Management.
Marking of Assessments
On submission of your assessment will be marked for a result of either Satisfactory (S) or Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS). If you receive a NYS result, you will be asked to redo the tasks again. To achieve a competent result with this unit, all tasks need to be completed and marked as satisfactory. Your trainer/assessor will provide feedback to you on each task, outlining where you must improve to achieve a Satisfactory (S) result. When all tasks are marked as Satisfactory (S), you will receive a result of Competent (C) for this unit otherwise, you will be marked Not Yet Competent (NYC). Assessments submitted to the trainer/assessor after the due date may not be accepted, and you may have to pay a resubmission fee / adjustment may apply.
Students with Special Needs
If leaners/learners have any special needs (e.g. physical disability, learning difficulty) regarding assessment, they should be directed to discuss these with the Course Coordinator. The college will endeavour to make all possible and reasonable adjustments to any aspect of assessment in order to address those needs. Some examples of additional support could include:
Language, literacy and numeracy (LLN)
Assistive technology
Additional materials or tutorials
Assistance in using technology for online delivery components.
Reasonable adjustment
Reasonable adjustment refers to any modification made to the learning environment, certification requirements, training delivery or assessment method to help learners with a disability access and participate in education and training on the same basis as those without disability (IBSA, 2015). The Disability Standards for Education 2005 were formed under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. They clarify the obligations of training providers to ensure that learners who have a disability are able to access and participate in education and training on the same basis as those without disability.
Some examples of reasonable adjustments could include:
Personal support services, e.g. a reader, Auslan interpreter, a scribe
assistive technology or special equipment, e.g. screen readers, magnifiers, alternative keyboards
modifying the presentation method, e.g. visual, oral, print, electronic
adjustments to timeframes, e.g. providing materials prior to class, extended time limits
adjustment of the physical environment, e.g. specific furniture, arrangement of classroom.
The determination of “reasonableness” requires judgement that must take into account the impact on the RTO and the need to maintain the integrity of the qualification. While reasonable adjustments can be made to the ways in which evidence of performance is gathered and demonstrated, the criteria for making Competent/Not Yet Competent decisions (and/or awarding grades) should not be altered in any way. That is to say, the standards expected should be the same irrespective of the group and/or individual being assessed (Disability Standards for Education 2005).
Skill Recognition and Credit Transfer
Appropriate credit(s) may be granted to eligible students against each unit of competency on presentation of evidence of successful completion of the same unit in an equivalent or higher qualification. Under the Australian Qualifications Framework, this qualification recognises competencies achieved as part of a Nationally Recognised Qualification from other institutes or universities.
Students may also apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) by providing evidence that they have the required skills and knowledge in the specific areas of competency through work/industry experience and/or completed eligible assessments in equivalent or higher qualification.
Please refer to college’s RPL/Credit Transfer Policy for more information and applicable procedures. The policy is available either through the faculty coordinator or college’s website
Academic Policies and Procedures
Applicable policies and procedure related to this course including plagiarism, assessments, appeals and complaints, can be found with the course coordinator as well as in the “Policies and Procedures” section of the college’s website.
All the written works must be submitted in a hard copy, and an additional soft/electronic copy if required by the trainer/assessor, with an accompanying “Assessment Cover Sheet”. Each Assessment Cover Sheet should be signed by the student and must contain student details and date of submission.
Material submitted for assessment—Word processed assignments, reports, essays, projects, etc. must contain student’s name, ID (if available). Within the context of these assessment tasks, the assessor fulfils the role of client, manager or supervisor, as applicable. Work submitted for “approval” within this context must demonstrate care and attention to detail, such that the student inspires confidence that the work is being undertaken competently.
Where soft copy/electronic files are submitted, students are encouraged to name the files according to established procedure. This would typically include a course or unit code, assessment or submission code, and in the case of multiple files an alphanumeric identifier. Multiple files may also be required to be submitted within an enclosing folder (with similar, appropriate naming conventions) or archive format—e.g. zip. Follow submission guidelines in each assessment task for specific instructions.

Knowledge Assessment
List at least three food safety issues which you must consider when preparing stocks, sauces and soups. Describe how you would reduce each risk.
RiskStrategy for reducing riskCross-contamination1. Use separate cutting boards and utensils for raw meats and vegetables. 2. Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling raw ingredients. Store raw and cooked ingredients separately in the refrigerator. Time and Temperature Control1. Ensure stocks, sauces, and soups are rapidly cooled before storing in the refrigerator. 2. Monitor cooking temperatures using calibrated thermometers. 3. Reheat leftovers to an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C) before serving.Proper Storage and Handling1. Store stocks, sauces, and soups in clean, airtight containers to prevent contamination. 2. Label containers with the date of preparation and use within recommended timeframes. 3. Rotate stock inventory to use older batches first to prevent spoilage.
Describe three indicators you would use to select fresh, quality ingredients for use in stocks, sauces and soups.
Three indicators one would use to select fresh, quality ingredients for use in stocks, sauces, and soups:Appearance: Inspect the appearance of the ingredients for freshness. Look for vibrant colors, firm textures, and absence of blemishes or discoloration. For example, fresh vegetables should be crisp and brightly colored, while meats should have a healthy pink or red hue without any signs of discoloration or unpleasant odor.Texture: Assess the texture of the ingredients to ensure they are firm and not overly soft or mushy. For example, fresh herbs should have sturdy stems and leaves that are not wilted or limp. Meats should feel firm to the touch, indicating freshness and quality.Smell: Use your sense of smell to detect any off-putting odors that may indicate spoilage or deterioration. Fresh ingredients should have a pleasant aroma characteristic of their type. For example, fresh herbs should have a strong, aromatic scent, while meats should smell clean and meaty without any foul or sour odors.
List three signs that ingredients used for stocks, sauces and soups have spoiled or are contaminated.
Foul Odor: Spoiled or contaminated ingredients may emit unpleasant or foul odors. For example, meats that have gone bad may smell sour or putrid, while vegetables may have a rotten or fermented odor. Any unusual or off-putting smell should be taken as a sign of spoilage or contamination.Mold or Discoloration: Visible signs of mold growth or discoloration on ingredients indicate spoilage and potential contamination. Mold can appear as fuzzy patches or spots on the surface of fruits, vegetables, or bread. Discoloration, such as darkening or browning of meats or vegetables, can also indicate deterioration and should be avoided.Slimy Texture: Spoiled or contaminated ingredients may develop a slimy or slippery texture. This is often caused by bacterial growth and is a clear indicator of spoilage. Meats, seafood, and vegetables that feel slimy to the touch should be discarded to prevent foodborne illness.
List at least three requirements for the safe storage of stocks, sauces and sauces. At least one of your answers for each must include the correct temperature range.
Stocks1. Store in airtight containers to prevent contamination. Below 41°F (5°C)Sauces1. Refrigerate promptly after cooling to room temperature. Below 41°F (5°C)Soups1. Rapidly cool soups before refrigerating to prevent bacterial growth. Below 41°F (5°C)
Describe three safety techniques when using knives in the kitchen.
Proper Grip: Ensure I have a secure and comfortable grip on the knife handle, with my fingers wrapped around the handle and my thumb resting on the spine of the blade. This grip provides better control and reduces the risk of the knife slipping or turning in my hand while cutting.Keep Fingers Clear: Always keep my fingers clear of the cutting path to avoid accidental cuts. Use a claw grip by curling my fingertips under my knuckles and keeping my knuckles against the side of the blade. This technique helps guide the knife and protects my fingertips from being chopped.Pay Attention to Cutting Surface: Use a stable and flat cutting surface to prevent the knife from slipping during use. Avoid cutting on unstable or slippery surfaces that can cause the knife to wobble or slide unexpectedly. Additionally, use a cutting board made of wood or plastic to protect the blade and maintain its sharpness.
When cooking stocks, sauces and soups, you will use a variety of equipment and utensils. Fill out the table below, identifying three things you should check before using each piece of equipment.
Utility knife1. Blade Sharpness: Ensure the blade is sharp for efficient and safe cutting. Dull blades can slip and cause accidents.2. Handle Stability: Check the handle for any cracks or loose fittings that may affect grip and control during use.3. Sanitary Condition: Verify that the knife is clean and sanitized to prevent cross-contamination between ingredients.Food processor1. Assembly Integrity: Inspect all components to ensure they are properly assembled and securely attached to the base.2. Blade Sharpness: Check the sharpness of the blades to ensure efficient chopping and processing of ingredients.3. Safety Features: Ensure all safety features, such as lid locks and overload protection, are functional to prevent accidents.
Describe four mise en place tasks related to preparing stocks, sauces and soups that you can complete without affecting the quality of the dish.
Here are four mise en place tasks related to preparing stocks, sauces, and soups that I can complete without affecting the quality of the dish:Ingredient Preparation: I can wash, peel, and chop vegetables, such as onions, carrots, and celery, needed for the stock, sauce, or soup. Properly prepared ingredients ensure even cooking and enhance flavor without compromising quality.Measuring Ingredients: I can accurately measure and portion out ingredients, such as herbs, spices, and liquids, according to the recipe. Precise measurements help maintain the desired flavor profile and consistency of the dish.Organizing Equipment: I can gather and organize all necessary equipment, such as pots, pans, ladles, and strainers, needed for cooking the stocks, sauces, or soups. Having everything readily accessible saves time and ensures a smooth cooking process.Setting Up Workstation: I can set up my workstation by arranging ingredients, equipment, and utensils in an orderly manner. This includes clearing clutter, sharpening knives, and ensuring adequate space for preparation and cooking. A well-organized workstation promotes efficiency and helps prevent accidents while maintaining the quality of the dish.
Define the following culinary terms in your own words.
Mirepoix:
Consommé:
Court bouillon:
Coating:
Pouring:
Mother sauces:
Reduction:
Roux:
Fond:
Bouquet garni:
Mirepoix: A mirepoix is a mixture of diced onions, carrots, and celery, often sautéed in oil or butter. It serves as a flavor base for many dishes, including stocks, soups, and sauces, imparting aromatic and savory notes to the final dish.Consommé: Consommé is a clear and flavorful soup or broth that has been clarified to remove impurities, resulting in a transparent appearance. It is typically made by simmering meat, vegetables, and seasonings, then clarifying the broth through processes such as egg white raft or clarification through a clear broth.Court bouillon: Court bouillon is a flavorful broth or liquid used for poaching fish, seafood, or vegetables. It is typically made with water, aromatic vegetables, herbs, spices, and acid, such as vinegar or wine, and is simmered to infuse flavor into the poached ingredients.Coating: Coating refers to the process of covering food items with a thin layer of flour, breadcrumbs, batter, or other ingredients before cooking. It helps seal in moisture, adds texture, and promotes browning during cooking, enhancing the flavor and appearance of the dish.Pouring: Pouring involves transferring liquids, such as sauces, stocks, or dressings, from one container to another or directly onto food. It requires control and precision to ensure even distribution and presentation without spilling or splattering.Mother sauces: Mother sauces, also known as “grand sauces,” are fundamental sauces that serve as the basis for a wide variety of derivative sauces. The five traditional mother sauces include béchamel, velouté, espagnole, tomato, and hollandaise, each with its distinct ingredients and uses in classical French cuisine.Reduction: Reduction is the process of simmering a liquid, such as stock, wine, or sauce, over low heat to evaporate water and concentrate flavors. It thickens the liquid and intensifies its taste, resulting in a rich and flavorful sauce or glaze.Roux: Roux is a mixture of flour and fat, typically butter, cooked together to form a thickening agent for sauces, soups, and gravies. It is used as a base to create a velvety texture and add depth to the dish.Fond: Fond refers to the flavorful browned bits and caramelized residue that forms on the bottom of a pan during cooking, especially when browning meat or sautéing vegetables. It is often deglazed with liquid, such as wine or stock, to create a rich and flavorful sauce or gravy.Bouquet garni: Bouquet garni is a bundle of herbs, typically tied together with twine or wrapped in cheesecloth, used to infuse flavor into stocks, soups, and stews. It usually contains aromatic herbs such as parsley, thyme, and bay leaf, and is added during cooking, then removed before serving.
Identify at least three convenience products you could use when preparing stocks, sauces and soups.
Three convenience products that I could use when preparing stocks, sauces, and soups:Pre-made Stock or Broth: I can use commercially available pre-made stocks or broths, such as chicken, beef, or vegetable stock, to save time and effort in preparing the base for soups, sauces, and other dishes. These products are convenient and can be easily incorporated into recipes, requiring minimal preparation.Bouillon Cubes or Powder: I can use bouillon cubes or powder as a quick and easy alternative to homemade stock. These concentrated flavoring agents dissolve in hot water to create a flavorful broth, making them ideal for adding depth of flavor to soups, sauces, and stews without the need for lengthy simmering.Ready-to-Use Sauce Bases: I can use ready-to-use sauce bases, such as demi-glace, béchamel, or tomato sauce, which are commercially prepared and packaged for convenience. These sauce bases provide a shortcut in sauce preparation, allowing me to quickly and easily create a variety of sauces by simply heating and adjusting seasoning as needed.
Identify at least three trade names of convenience stocks, sauces and soups.
Knorr: Knorr offers a range of convenience products, including stocks, broth concentrates, and sauce mixes, designed to enhance the flavor of various dishes quickly and easily.Maggi: Maggi is known for its instant soup mixes, bouillon cubes, and sauce mixes, providing convenient solutions for busy cooks to prepare flavorful stocks, sauces, and soups in a short amount of time.Campbell’s: Campbell’s is a well-known brand that offers a variety of canned soups, broth, and sauce products, providing convenient options for home cooks and professional chefs alike to create delicious meals with ease.
Identify at least three products you can use as thickening agents with sauces and soups.
Three products that I can use as thickening agents with sauces and soups:Flour: I can use flour as a traditional thickening agent by creating a roux, which is a mixture of flour and fat (such as butter or oil) cooked together until it forms a smooth paste. This roux can then be used to thicken sauces and soups by slowly whisking it into the liquid until the desired consistency is achieved.Cornstarch: I can use cornstarch as a gluten-free alternative to flour for thickening sauces and soups. To use cornstarch as a thickening agent, I typically mix it with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry before adding it to the hot liquid. It should be stirred continuously until the desired thickness is reached.Arrowroot: I can use arrowroot powder as a natural thickening agent for sauces and soups. Similar to cornstarch, arrowroot is mixed with cold water to create a slurry before being added to the hot liquid. It has a neutral flavor and creates a glossy finish, making it suitable for a variety of dishes.
