Cooking can be a highly creative activity that can give both the person engaged in the cooking as well as those who consume the product, a sense of pleasure, satisfaction, and a higher quality of life

You are cutting the ingredients for the sauce.

Grinding or gratinggarlic may bring out bitterness or too much aroma.

　　　　Bring out the right amount of aroma by finely chopping the garlic with a knife.

Chop with a KnifeBring out the right amount of flavor

No-touch policy is best for the dashi

Dried Bonito Dashi

You have brought a pot of water to a boil.

If you put the dried bonito in the boiling water and stir it constantly, it will bring out a bitter taste.

Take the pot off of the heat, put the dried bonito in, and let it naturally sink to the bottom.

Components of a Cook-That-Dish Pattern

Significance of Using the Pattern Format

The patterns provide an insight on the reason behind each cooking process By understanding why a certain action must be taken, a person is able to take in the information and use it to make decisions on his/her own discretion

• Context: the timing in which one should perform the pattern

• Problem: what would happen if the pattern is not performed

• Solution: what to do to prevent the problem from happening

Explains a certain step in the cooking process in the pattern format:

The Process of Creating the Taco Patterns

① Data collection: extracted tips/methods that play a significant role in the cooking process

② Data organization: created a recipe-like list of steps to take in making each component of the taco

③ Pattern writing & symbolizing: wrote down each cooking step in the pattern format

+ revising

Whole Collection of the Taco Patterns

27 patterns divided into 5 categories

Using the Taco Patterns: Collaborative Cooking Sessions

• Cooking parties, in which university students (& teachers) cook together in groups.

• Participants have varying cooking experiences; some cook for themselves everyday, while some have rarely used a knife.

Using the Taco Patterns: Collaborative Cooking Sessions

Enable people with varying cooking experiences to cook a meal together… Without having experienced people take over the process and the others observing as bystanders.

Collaborative Cooking Sessions

5 workshops with around 15 to 35 people in each session, engaging more than 100 participants in total.

Cooking with the Pattern Cards

• Divided participants into 5 teams according to the categories, and gave each team corresponding pattern cards & ingredients

• Participants take time to go over the pattern cards with each other one by one and decide the order in which they will carry out the patterns

• After the teams have established a common understanding of the process, each team cooks their part of the taco according to the patterns

• The patterns are used as reference to guide the collaborative cooking process

• In the end, the finished parts are served in individual dishes, and a buffet-style taco dinner is ready for everyone to enjoy.

Patterns functioning as common vocabulary

Conversation sample: Team Meat Participant A

Participant B

“Hey, can you have a taste and see if this tastes okay? I feel like I made it too spicy…”

“I think it’s good! The Enough Punch pattern said it should be slightly over seasoned anyway.”

Conversation sample: Team TortillaParticipant C

Participant D

“Okay, let’s start cooking the tortillas. We need a Teaspoon of Oil for each tortilla right?”

“Right, and make sure to cook them 45 Seconds Per Side… I think the heat should be lowered since they’re cooking a lot faster”

Conversation sample: Team Pico de Gallo

“I see now why Draining After Cutting is so important. Look at all the juice that came out! I guess we should have left them in the colander longer”

Participant

“By taking the time to go over each pattern, [the participant] was able to learn about why each step had to be taken. [The participant felt] like the ‘problem’ section was the most insightful part.”

“Even though [the participant] had very little experience with cooking, [the participant] was able to partake in the cooking process because the patterns allowed everyone to be ‘on the same page’”

After the cooking sessions, there were cases in which participants convened their own cooking sessions using the Taco Patterns, with a new group of participants.

Patterns can be

1. Effective tool to involve participants with varying experiences

2. A practical format to convey meaning behind cooking processes

3. A valid tool for simultaneous, distributed cooking processes

All participants are involved regardless of experience by having a common vocabulary to communicate about the cooking process

By conveying the meaning behind cooking processes in a practical, concise manner, even beginners can grasp the good practices in cooking

Categorized pattern cards enables a relatively large number of people to cook simultaneously
