Learning Goal

Learners will be able to confidently plan and cook healthy, time-efficient meals using basic kitchen tools.


Taxonomies Used

Bloom’s Taxonomy and Fink’s Taxonomy

This project incorporates two key educational frameworks to structure learning outcomes effectively:

  • Bloom’s Taxonomy: A hierarchical model used to classify educational learning objectives into levels of complexity, from remembering and understanding to analyzing, evaluating, and creating.
  • Fink’s Taxonomy: A holistic approach to learning that emphasizes integration, application, and lifelong learning beyond traditional cognitive skills.

Learning Objectives

  • List essential kitchen tools and ingredients needed to cook quick and healthy meals.
  • Select key ingredients and cooking techniques appropriate for a given recipe.
  • Apply learned cooking skills when following recipes and cooking tutorials.
  • Adapt recipes to resolve common shared-kitchen constraints (e.g., limited storage, appliance scheduling).
  • Compare different meal prep and cooking methods to determine which method is the most time-efficient.
  • Select budget-friendly, multi-use ingredients that align with personal dietary needs and minimize waste.
  • Design a personalized meal plan that aligns with personal budget, time constraints and dietary restrictions
  • Develop a sense of motivation to cook regularly and maintain healthy eating habits.
  • Adapt 5 foundational cooking techniques (chopping, stir-frying, boiling, baking, meal prepping).
  • Develop confidence in cooking independently.
