Okay! I LIKE this recipe... it's indestructible!
Even though the students struggled with the (relative) complexity, even the group who cooked their quinoa by "winging" it managed to come up with a decent looking, highly edible product.
You know what's delicious? The silence that falls when a group of 13 year olds start eating something yummy that they just made by themselves. Too bad that magic didn't extend to the younger classes that followed, but the 6/7s were a little disappointed that they weren't cooking today, and that they weren't cooking whatever it was that smelled so good.
Yes, I have a thing or two to learn about how to write up a recipe to help things run smoothly, and that edit will take place very soon, but I like this recipe enough to try it again next term.
p.s. here's a link to the recipe I used. It lends itself well to adaptations. To use it in Home Ec I converted it to metric and then cut the recipe for the groups. If you want my version, just contact me.
