The main lesson I learned from my personal project journey was the requirement for attention to detail when creating my cookery book. I developed various recipes while also learning new recipe ideas paying particular attention to the taste and presentation of the foods. This was needed as I had to take attractive and appealing photographs of my interesting dishes . The project required me to learn graphic design as part of the creative work to design the book cover. I had never previously undertaken any design work and therefore this was a new skill which I developed and a task I thoroughly enjoyed. Learning new skills made the project all the more interesting and exciting which I feel has developed me in a very positive way.
Having achieved my goal of writing a cookery book and now reflecting on the work undertaken I have realized that cooking is my passion. In addition, the process has also helped me with improving my time management and made me a more self motivated person. It has been a significant challenge managing my extracurricular classes with my academics. However, to keep me focused and to manage myself I made structured schedules to assist with planning and coordinating the tasks I was required to complete.
Aanya's Recipe Book
This objective is significant to me since it is something I am passionate about. I constantly associate food with a memory of an incident that occurred in my life previously. I don't recall what I was doing at the time, but I do recall what I was eating. It allows us to express our preferences, connect with places and situations, and, most significantly, it unites us together by allowing us to share our culture and heritage via food and provide nutrition to one another.
When I first started my personal project, I had no idea how much I would truly appreciate the process. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotion, but I learned a lot about multitasking, organization, and ingenuity as a result of these experiences. My book is built on the idea of creating a cookery/recipe book with linkages to a biographical storytelling book based on notable people I've met in my life that I truly admire. It was frustrating at times, especially when it came to examinations, extracurricular activities, and me needing to gather recipes and narratives then test each one, which took a long time since there was quite a lot of experimentation until I polished each dish. Nevertheless, I must add that the e-process notebook was quite useful in helping me organize my time and establish routines, particularly when it came to creating implementation action plans.I thoroughly appreciated this journey, and I am quite pleased with the final product of my endeavor.
