 Cultural Cookbook

(1 person  per group)

 

After reading The Myth of the Melting Pot series from the Washington Post and participating in class discussions, complete the following:  

As immigrants from all over came to America, each group of people brought their own recipes, foods, and ways of cooking, which were typical of their culture.  Many of these foods and recipes have been integrated completely into today’s American cuisine. 

Create a cookbook that highlights some of the recipes of the foods that have been brought to America from your group’s country of origin.  Include pictures and cooking tips along with the recipes.  Cookbook must contain a minimum of 2 dishes from each dish category:  Appetizers, Salads, Main Dishes, Side Dishes, Deserts, and Beverages. 

You may want to present a sample of one or more of the recipes during the final celebration day.
