People seem to forget that nutritious and delicious //could// come hand-in-hand.
At the beginning of this process multiple thoughts were running through my head as to what I could spend 18 weeks researching. Although I haven't attended any culinary classes at this school, I maintain to cook with my family every day, experimenting and throwing in spices with no record of what exactly we did. Seeing how much fun I have spending time in the kitchen and thinking of new things to throw into a dish, I decided that a project on cooking sounded especially fun and interesting. Cooking provides for multiple avenues of research, between making multi-cultural dishes, to researching cookbook history and development, I decided that I could integrate more than that in creating my very own cookbook, and make it a practical product for others to use. The direction I've chosen to take my project in is creating in economical cookbook for inner-city student and families, which are on a tight budget and time constraints, to have a cookbook which provides recipes that include fast, filling and healthy dishes for people to enjoy, and making them the most economically sound option for multiple people, say a family of four. I will have to both research the ideal budget for meals, what people prefer eating (as oppose to what they //should// be eating), how much time people give themselves to prepare food and comfortably eat, and most importantly, what combinations taste good and provide enough variation!
