- [Page not found](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/404/): That page doesn't exist, or it has moved since you last looked
- [Assessment](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/assessments/): Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.
- [Assignment — invent a recipe](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/assessments/invent-a-recipe/): A written account of an invented dish, argued before it is cooked — preparation process, nutritional composition and sensory prediction.
- [Final — the public kitchen](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/assessments/the-public-kitchen/): The week 12 practical, assessed live — preparation decisions, execution under time constraint, whether the result matches what was predicted, and how the student handles an independent taster's report of it.
- [Lectures](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/): What is covered, week by week, and which topics each lecture draws on.
- [Why prepare at all](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-01/): The case for preparation, made with time-use figures rather than assertion, and the thesis the semester is built to test.

- [Vegetables](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-02/): Storage as the first decision a vegetable meets after the market: what belongs in the refrigerator and at what temperature, which producers of ethylene gas must be kept from which sensitive produce, and what the fat, protein and calorie content of a handful of common vegetables actually is.
- [Animal protein I — poultry and fish](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-03/): Anatomy, handling and sourced storage guidance for chicken and fish, the first of two weeks on animal protein.

- [Animal protein II: red meat](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-04/): Beef as the primary material, goat and lamb touched on briefly — the same anatomy-then-handling-then-portioning structure as poultry and fish, plus the fat, protein, calorie and iron content of the two ground-beef blends, the lamb leg and the goat that this week's calculator actually uses.
- [Spices, aromatics and oil](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-05/): What galangal, shallot, onion and garlic contribute, and how chopping, crushing and slicing change the result at a cellular level — plus what determines when oil choice matters, ahead of this week's storage exercise.
- [The kitchen: tools and surfaces](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-06/): Chopping boards, choppers, strainers and containers, and their maintenance — including an honest look at what board material actually does to hygiene, knife wear and particle shedding, ahead of week 7's knife.
- [The knife](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-07/): Blade geometry, steel and hardness, sharpening and honing, grip and the cuts — the most detailed lecture in the course, and the one it is demonstrated rather than described
- [Guest lecture: time management under service](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-08/): A visiting chef on how preparation is organised in a professional kitchen once service is timed, and what that discipline reveals about week 1's argument for preparing at all
- [Fruit](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-09/): Varieties and what distinguishes them, where each is stored and why, how to choose well at the market, ripening treated as a schedulable process, and the fat, protein and calorie content of five fruits common to this course.
- [Food safety and the cold chain](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-10/): The synthesis week, and the last before heat enters the course — the temperature danger zone, cross-contamination, and how long the material handled since week 2 actually keeps.
- [Cooking](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-11/): The same dish, cooked twice from batches of material prepared two different ways, so that any difference in the result can be attributed to the preparation rather than to what happened at the stove.
- [Live test — the public kitchen](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/lectures/week-12/): What the assessed practical examines: the preparation decisions made before the heat, their execution under a stated time constraint, and whether the result matches the account a student wrote in week 6.
- [People](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/people/): Who teaches the course, and how to reach them.
- [Dominic Achterberg](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/people/dominic-achterberg/): Head chef at The Coalhouse and this course's week 8 guest lecturer on how preparation is timed against a live service
- [Idris Fenn](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/people/idris-fenn/): Teaches week 7, the knife — blade geometry, sharpening and honing schedules, and the grip and cuts that follow from them.
- [Marisol Quaye](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/people/marisol-quaye/): The founding convenor of SLOP1640, responsible for the course's structure, its twelve-week teaching programme and the claim that a meal is decided before it is cooked.
- [Policies and support](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/policies/): The course-wide rules for late work, extensions, academic integrity and getting help.
- [Why prepare at all](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/01-getting-started/): Why week 1 carries no tutorial exercise: establishing the case for preparation is not itself a preparation decision, and the exercises begin once one exists to practise.
- [Vegetables](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/02-vegetables/): A hands-on exercise reading a vegetable's fat, protein and calorie content off the same USDA database this week's lecture cites, in grams rather than impressions.
- [Animal protein I: poultry and fish](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/03-poultry-and-fish/): A hands-on exercise computing fat, protein and calorie content across four items this week's lecture covers by anatomy, to see what that anatomy means in grams.
- [Animal protein II: red meat](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/04-red-meat/): A hands-on exercise comparing two ground-beef blends against lamb and goat, to see what a stated fat percentage actually means in grams.
- [Spices, aromatics and oil](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/05-aromatics-and-oil/): A hands-on exercise computing how long a cut allium or a prepared leaf herb can wait before it must be refrigerated or discarded.
- [The kitchen: tools and surfaces](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/06-kitchen-tools-and-surfaces/): Chopping boards, choppers, strainers and containers, and their maintenance — including an honest look at what board material actually does to hygiene, knife wear and particle shedding.
- [Cuts, under supervision](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/07-the-knife/): This week's lecture describes the knife; this session is where the grip and the standard cuts are practised at the bench and checked against the deck's own figures for length, weight, hardness and edge angle.
- [Timed mise en place](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/08-timed-mise-en-place/): A hands-on exercise computing how long a held item — a portioned vegetable, a stock, a sauce — can safely wait before it must be served or refrigerated again.
- [Fruit](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/09-fruit/): A hands-on exercise comparing calorie density across this week's fruits, and checking whether ripening behaviour tracks nutritional composition or is unrelated to it.
- [Food safety and the cold chain](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/10-food-safety-and-the-cold-chain/): A hands-on exercise computing a safe-until time for the raw materials and the already-prepared leftovers this course has handled since week 2, using the same cold-chain rule throughout.
- [First heat](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/11-first-heat/): The same dish, cooked twice from batches of material prepared two different ways, so that any difference in the result can be attributed to the preparation rather than to what happened at the stove.
- [The live test](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-hadissuryaalamin/sessions/12-the-live-test/): The teaching session built around week 12's assessed practical — what is watched before the heat is applied, and whether the semester's preparation decisions hold up in front of an audience under a clock.
