This final project was one of the most meaningful projects I’ve done in my short time in the MET Program. I fell like this project is a true culmination of the content and processes I learned in this course. I hope that it piques your interest about the impact of recipes past, present and future. My goal with each project I complete in this program is to link back to my Foods classes. My hope is that I can translate all of the concepts I learn back to my classroom and make meaningful changes there.

I thought that the infographic would be the best way to showcase all of my research and reading on the topic of recipes, but as I worked my way through the project I began to second guess myself. I really struggled to narrow down the limited text I could put on the infographic. I didn’t realize how difficult it was to choose just a few pieces of information to display while trying to highlight the amount of work that went into the project. I have limited personal experience making infographics, using Google Slides/Docs and Piktochart in my classes, so I chose Canva because I had never used it before.

I wanted my infographic to touch on key concepts from throughout this course, so it is designed as a timeline from the beginning of text, to a question for the future.

I highlighted family recipes from both my and my husband’s families. The recipes included encompass 4 generations of families, dating back to the late 1800s. I also included an updated video demo I started for my Foods classes during our online teaching this past Spring. I wanted my infographic to be polished and not include cartoon-like images or content.
