Homebaked Recipe Book

I was having trouble deciding what themes to use for my project at first, but when I saw Sir Tariq for the first time, he told me that this personal project was based on our particular interests so that it could be anything. Then, after some thought, I asked myself, "How exactly could I evolve my baking skills and my personal interest into a personal project?" Since I was a kid, I had always been interested in baking and cooking things, so how exactly could I evolve my baking skills and personal interest into a personal project? Then it occurred to me: why don't I make my own personal cookbook? Baking has always piqued my curiosity since I was a kid. I remembered helping my mom and grandma prepare a meal in the kitchen. When I'm in the kitchen and baking things, I get a sense of satisfaction. As time passes, I realize that this is something I am really interested in. For these reasons, I recognized that working on this particular project would be an excellent way for me to learn more about it and develop my knowledge and abilities. As a result, I determined that my learning aims for my personal project would be to learn how to develop my baking creativity abilities and competence.

Product Goal

My goal for this personal project is to increase my baking abilities and knowledge over the course of five months by designing and arranging a cookbook that I created myself. Different desserts will be the types of dishes in the cookbook, and I want to make seven of them. As a result, the ultimate planned outcome of the cookbook that I created would be the product aim. Throughout the process, I will investigate a few design motifs. I want it to be unique to myself, with a final design that I like. By doing so, I can work on improving my organizational abilities, allowing me to be as creative as I want and employ my creativity throughout the creation process.

Reflection

For starters, I was worried that I would not be able to finish this project, so I procrastinated excessively. I gained the confidence to return to work and complete the project on time after finally realizing that it took longer than expected. While putting together the desserts, I picked up a lot of new skills and techniques. My favourite flavour combination was discovered after several failed attempts and trial and error. Every time I'm finished with a dessert, I take a picture of it to serve as a record of the process. I am working on this project in a mini studio that I recently purchased. Unexpectedly, I found myself learning new photography skills, such as finding the right angle for a shot, adjusting the lighting, and using my camera more effectively. Techniques for photo editing, such as adjusting the saturation, determining the best tone to match the theme, and experimenting with different editing tools, were also covered. I misjudged the difficulty of the book-writing process, and it cost me dearly. As a result of having a blank canvas in front of me, I had no idea where to begin my project. As soon as I had a better idea of what I wanted to create, I started experimenting with different editing tools and changing the colour to match my vision. I chose a muted colour palette to keep things as simple as possible. By the end of the day, I had finished my manuscript. As a result, I am confident that I will no longer hesitate or procrastinate when confronted with new challenges in my professional life due to this experience. I need to research to gain a better understanding of what I need to do. Whatever I choose to do, there will always be a certain amount of risk associated with it. I will be forced to learn new skills and deal with new challenges regularly, which will be beneficial. I think the thing that I am most proud of throughout this whole process is how well I was able to manage myself during working hours. As I worked on this project, I encountered several ups and downs, such as figuring out how to manage my time while completing my personal project while also meeting the demands of the school's tasks and deadlines. The most effective method I have discovered for dealing with these issues is to spend time with my family, get some fresh air, and complete this project somewhere other than my room because I have realized that staying in my room and completing all of these tasks could have a negative impact on my stress levels and mental health. I also start journaling and talking about what I am going through, which has proven to be highly beneficial. In addition, the time plan is useful; I decided to print out my time plan so that I would not forget what I needed to accomplish each day and would not procrastinate. In that case, I could say that I am proud of my time management abilities because I am the type of person who struggles to manage my time effectively, but I managed to get through my difficulties and complete the project.

Product Evaluation

I believe I have created a successful product, but I can do things even better in the future, although the overall outcome exceeded my expectations. I feel I made mistakes in the design process itself; more particularly, I believe I made mistakes in the content of my design. I regret any inconvenience this has caused. I should have made it equal, but whatever the case may be, I am delighted with the outcome in this instance. I disseminated the survey to a few of my peers, and all of their responses fit all of my criteria, so my final review will be based on their impressions of my product. I will be evaluating my product in the following ways: Overall, I am delighted with the work I have completed, and I believe I have met my aims with this product; therefore, I am relieved to assert that my product is completed.
