Purpose: To create a recipe book that incorporates multiple aspects of the Foods I class.
Directions: You are going to create a recipe book that goes along with the curriculum of Foods I. You
may get recipes from various sources (cookbooks, textbooks, internet, food labels, and family
members). You must state the source on each recipe or points will be deducted. (If you get a family
recipe, just write the name of the person who gave you the recipe.) This recipe book can be electronic or
you can print it off. HOWEVER, if you do an electronic version it CANNOT be in Word document form.
Find a website that allows you to create recipe books online for FREE.
Before each section should at least a three sentence description of your categories. For example, if I had
a category entitled Measuring, Cutting, and Cooking Methods my description might be: In this section all
recipes included have measuring, cutting, and cooking techniques learned in class. They include, but are
not limited to, baking, using measuring spoons and cups, and dicing, chopping, and mincing various
items. Knowing how to properly measuring ingredients greatly helps recipes turn out as expected.
Special notes
Kids recipes: all recipes in this section should be geared towards kids. You must change all of the
directions to pictures so that kids will know what they should do. It can have simple words and
directions; however, you must have pictures for each step.
Menu planning: you must create a menu for four days. Include whole meals for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner. They must be nutritiously balanced, and you must use Choosemyplate.gov to make sure all
meals per day do not reach a maximum of 2500 calories. Print off Supertracker pages to prove you did
this. Also, include the recipes used for the four days of meals.
Half and Double Recipes: All recipes that are included in this section must be halved and doubled. You
may print the original recipe and then write in the half and doubled recipe notations on the side, or type
in parenthesis. I MUST BE ABLE To IDENTIFY the three notations.
Preface: Your preface goes in the beginning of your book. This should describe what the purpose of the
book is and how you went about deciding what goes in your book. Also, if you want to acknowledge
anyone who helped you at all, you may do so at this time. This should be a one page, double spaced,
article. Include your rough draft in the final product. A classmate MUST proofread your preface and sign
it and date it (the rough draft). You will sign your final copy of your preface.
