This document contains 12 pictures with captions summarizing the process of creating a family cookbook. The pictures show the student meeting with her project facilitator, collecting recipes from family members, typing up the recipes, editing multiple drafts, printing the final version, learning to cook family recipes, and making meals from the cookbook for friends and family. The cookbook project allowed the student to document treasured family recipes and cooking traditions.
2. This picture was taken with my project
facilitator, Mrs. Carrnes, on the first
day I met with her. We talked about
healthy options for the cookbook.
3. In this picture, I sat down with my mother and went
over all her recipes. She told me which ones to
include and helped me rewrite the ones that I
couldn’t read.
4. I invited my aunts to over to my house. We
talked about my project, and they each gave me
all the recipes that they wanted to include in it.
5. Here I am emailing my grandmother to
figure out a good time for her to come
over and cook with me. We set up days
that would be best for my grandmother to
come over and teach me to make each
meal.
6. After I had all the recipes from my
grandmother, aunts, and mom, I sat down and
typed up all 45 recipes. This was very time
consuming task and took me a few days to
complete.
7. This picture was taken while I was editing the printed
rough draft of the cookbook. Once I had this printed out
on paper, I was able to catch many spelling, grammar, and
simple punctuation errors that I had missed when editing
on the computer.
8. This picture was taken while I was fixing my
last revisions that Mrs. Carnes told me to
make before taking it to be printed.
9. This was my third trip to Fed Ex
Office to print my final edited
version of the cookbook. After much
frustration, we were able to get it to
print just the way I wanted.
10. These are the final prints of my product! My
aunts, my mother, and my grandmother
each got their own copy.
11. This is a picture of our Family’s Thanksgiving
meal where I watched and learned to cook
most of the meals with the assistants of my
grandmother and mom.
12. On this day, my grandmother came over and
taught me how to make her Marinated Salad
13. On this day, my grandmother came over and we cooked
her famous sweet potato casserole, pork chops, and
her apple pie.
14. This is a picture of the my grandmother’s
cranberry salad, my Aunt Becky’s sugar
cookies, and my grandmother’s brownies all which
I cooked on Thanksgiving Day
15. Made dinner for my family this night. I choice my
favorite recipe from the cookbook, fried rice. I
served it with my Aunt Becky’s Broccoli Salad. For
dessert, I made my mom’s No-bake Cheesecake.
16. In this picture, I made my mom’s
famous guacamole dip and served it to
my sister and her friend for a late
midnight snack.
