My Goal
My Goal is was to create an online Cookbook that not only showcases different foods and recipes, but also talks a little but about how these foods were created and how they express the culture of their origin. My book will include foods that will be split into their continents of origin along with most optimal recipe for anyone wanting to make the food they are reading about. I am creating this online cookbook in order for people to understand the different ways that we as a human race can express ourselves and our origins. Food is a huge part of personal and cultural expression and thats why I created this Cookbook as not only is it informative but if the reader is interested in the food he is reading about, the recipe to that specific dish will available and easy to follow.
The Global Context
The final global context I chose for my project is "Identities and Relationships". One of the other global contexts I was considering was "personal and cultural expression" but I wanted to focus not only on the way the foods express their culture, but also the relationships built through the foods therefore I chose "Identities and Relationships." Writing a cookbook along with information on how the dishes express a country’s culture and religious beliefs fits right into the description of this Global Context. Talking about food and how it can express a culture fits right into the cultures identity and how it is expressed towards the rest of the world. As well as that, relationships can be built on the topic of food as different cultures have exchanged their dishes amongst each other and created new variations based on their own culture which creates the whole idea of human relationships.
