If you click on the "next" button on the bottom right it will take you to cooking methods. The courgette, marrow and aub are not all the aqueous vegetables, just three examples.

here is the question in its entirety
complete the following chartby listing the prep and cooking methods off  each vegetable

leaves

vegetable fruits

For what it is worth (probably not much in this case) I would say that aqueous vegetables should be prepared by slicing and then sitting in a sieve covered in salt for about half an hour to draw out some of the fluid.  They should then be rinsed and seared in a hot frying pan to seal them - that's how I do things like courgettes and aubergines which probably come within the group (bit doubtful about the aubergines but then I am always doubtful about those).  Please note that I am not a chef/cook but do like cooking if I get the time.

Having now had a look at Jesseveive's post you will probably get all you need from the link

Hi I did some intenet digging.  Try this :-

http://moodle.sbc.ac.uk:81/sharedContent/sbc_materials/catering/site_1/main_frames/veg/content/types/aqueous/aqueous_veg_1.htm

you will proably have to type it in as the wrap on the page never seems to load.

It lists marrows, courgettes, and aubergines.  Also it gives cooking recepies.  Good luck! ;)
