Hispanic Recipe Project

Your Job Is To:

• Find the recipe for a Hispanic dish.
• Record the source of your recipe (Internet, cookbook, relative, etc.).
• Identify the country of origin of your recipe.
• Write a brief summary about what country your dish is from and include unique cultural facts about that country.
• Acquire the necessary ingredients and prepare the dish at home.
• Bring the dish to school to share with your classmates and me.
• Rate the dish after tasting in class.
• Record the recipe and the rating on the Hispanic Recipe database online.

Suggested Course Of Actions:

• Use Internet search engines to scour the web for Hispanic recipes.
  • You can find different search engines at:
    http://westlake.k12.oh.us/whslibrary/Searching.htm
  • Try using words like "Spanish" "food" "recipe" and "cook" "Latino" "Hispanic" "South American" "Central American" when you conduct your search.
  • If you get stuck and cannot find any recipes, you may use some that I have found for you.
    To get maximum credit for this project, however, you should find your own recipe sources.  Click here ONLY if you cannot find your own recipes - HELP ME!
• Decide upon which recipe you'd like to prepare and print out the recipe.
  Make sure you include:
  • Name of the dish.
  • Ingredients and amounts needed.
  • Directions for preparing the dish.
  • Source (where you got the recipe from).
  • Country of origin of the dish.
  • Unique cultural information information about your country.
• Get the ingredients you need to and prepare the dish.  It would be a good idea to create the dish for your family first to make sure you get it right for the dish you prepare for class.
• After we share the dishes, we will enter the recipes into a master Hispanic recipe database that will be available as an Online Hispanic Recipe Cookbook.
• We will also complete a survey that rates the various dishes.

Buen Provecho!
