Food for thought Will you include all meals such as entrees, mains and desserts? How will you gather the information? Will you interview your family members or people in your local community? Will you test cook the food before you publish the recipe? Tip: take photos and grab personal advice from the cooks in your life! Are you using any food from your kitchen/school or community garden? Is there a ‘hero’ ingredient? Are you using any indigenous foods in your cooking?
