Projet de Cuisine (Cooking Project)
Point Value: 20 points
Due Date: Friday, February 15, 2013
Overview of project
For this required project, you will be researching, planning, preparing and serving
elements of a French meal for your family, yourself or your group. By doing this, you
will be exposed to the art of French cooking, a major part of the French Culture. You
need not spend a lot of money on the project; plenty of low cost French recipes exist.
This project should be completed in groups of 3 (an occasional group of 4 might be
acceptable with teacher consent).
Project requirements
1. The meal must consist of an appetizer, main course and dessert at minimum.
2. You must submit photographs of yourselves in the process of preparing and serving
the meal. You may also submit a cooking show video if you so choose.
3. You must submit a brief, written review of the meal from each person (mom, dad,
brothers, sisters, you, teachers, etc.) who sampled the meal.
4. You must submit printed copies of your recipes, all of which must be French in
origin and will need to be pre-approved.
5. Projects must be submitted in an organized fashion; a folder or a binder will suffice.
Resources
I have several French cookbooks, which I will bring to class one day for you to look over.
I will also attempt to get you access to the computer lab for internet research. Here are
some websites to explore:

Note: For each class day your project is late, 3 points will be subtracted from your
score. This amounts to 3% of your total grade.
