Unit 4 - Food preparation (e-book)


4.8 Preparation of texture modified recipes

The procedure for the preparation of texture-adapted foods is, in most cases, the same as for non-adapted foods. The main differences in this procedure usually occur once cooked and before serving. It is at this moment, when most of the elaborations must undergo a texture modification process using some type of food processor.

Steps to develop texture adapted recipes:

  1. To know the characteristics of the food

  2. Cook the food with the usual procedure of the recipe

  3. Separation of the parts of the preparation for its adaptation in texture and subsequent plating.

  4. Texture modification. Use of robots or knives/scissors to modify food texture.

  5. Validation of the particle size and characteristics of the dish.

  6. Plating process.
