Exploring Recipe Sources

Assignment #3
Due October 11, 2006

1. Visit your local library. Ask the librarian where all the food books are. Peruse the stacks and find one book that looks at food from a perspective you have not read much about.

What makes this book unique? What are two recipes you are excited to try? Write your answer on an index card (or e-mail) and give to your instructor. We will put everyone’s responses together so we may read them.

2. Stop by Ten Thousand Villages on Hillsboro across from the Green Hills Mall. It is an amazing store with all kinds of products that were created by villagers making a living wage. The store also sells three amazing cookbooks. They bring a simplicity and a beauty to eating and cooking that connects us to our world and our neighbors.

What is one action that Simply in Season recommends that you think is wise? Are any of these cookbooks inspiring?

3. Find out 10 fruits and vegetables that are in season during autumn.

4. Check out the following websites. Try using these sites to make cooking easier. For instance, do you have only certain ingredients? Use these sites to search for recipes that fit what you’ve got!

a. www.fooddownunder.com
b. www.recipesource.com
c. www.suegregg.com
d. www.allrecipes.com

No Internet? Your assignment is to develop a strategy for finding recipes
quickly for vegetables that you have not used very often.
