Students research traditional recipes from their home countries, including the origins of ingredients and recipes as well as any legends or stories behind them. They discuss their findings and create illustrations for a website and potential recipe book. The project aims to provide an educational experience for primary, middle, and secondary school students to learn about different cultures through their shared love of food.
