Observation

Candidates generally performed well in this question. In 5(a) many of them could list different types of vegetable cuts such as julliené, Jadinierre, mire poix etc. and in 5(b) they listed different types of herbs and spices.
However, some candidates could not name type of vegetable cuts and they listed types of vegetable instead. Likewise in question 5(b), some candidates could not differentiate between herbs and spices as they named some spices e.g. ginger where they were supposed to list herbs such as Basil, Rosemary, curry leaves.
