Interpersonal Task:
Your friend also wants to apply for the next season of MasterChef Junior Partner,
so you decide to brainstorm together. You will first discuss what you learned about making macaroni and cheese. Then you will decide if you want to complete Option A, or Option B.
Option A: Submitting an original recipe together
Option B: Submitting separate recipes
You know that all recipe entries must be original, so you and your partner must be sure to put your own personal twist on your recipe/s. Together you will discuss which ingredients you will use, and how the recipe/s will be prepared, providing useful feedback for your partner.

Now you are ready to write theoriginal recipe that you will submit to
MasterChef! You will need to include very specific information about the
ingredients, the tools and appliances required to prepare your recipe, and the

would like the dish (and why), as well as why it is meaningful to you. You will need
to include a sketch of the finished dish, as well.
