hey im sitting for the hospitality exam and am just a little confused about the commercial cookery unit. will appetisers & salads, sandwiches & vegetables, eggs farinaceous dishes be in the exam or will it just be the basic methods, organise and prepare and implement for the commercial cookery section??

[me182]

they can ask you about anything from all the topics. e.g. they could ask you preparation involved in making sandwhiches or salads etc

[ASHK]

there will be questions from each booklet done in your commercial cookery class this year, and also somethings to do with year 11 things. like communication, sectors in the hospitality establishment, interrelationships, safety etc.

usually the extended response will be derived from basic methods of cookery booklet.

hope that helps. good luck!!

no no no no no...

sorry, but no!

there are 3 types of topics in hospitality:
-core units, which everyone does
the bulk of the exam is from these topics, q1-21

-strand units, eg. your commercial cookery strand topics (organise and prepare food, present food, methods of cookery, food safety procedures)
q22 will be from these topics

-elective pool, and these are NOT examinable!
for commercial cookery, these include sandwiches, appetisers and salads, and veges, eggs, and farinaceous.
you just do these for the certificate, and they will NOT be in the exam !!

That clears up all my questions!

So the ones examinable in like 1-21 are:
Working in a Socially Diverse environment
Telephone Communication
Work With Collegues and Customers
Cleaning and Sanitisation

Is that all?
