Podcast: Continental Cuisine
By: Camden Forrest and Everett Smith
Drakes Creek Middle School
This year we were tasked with picking a project for STLP and we decided to do a podcast. We had to figure out what we wanted our podcast to be about, so we each wrote some things down and we each had one thing in common, food. We then brainstormed ideas about how food could be used in a podcast and we decided to go through the history of food from different continents. This is what our podcast is about.
Our first objective was to study the history of different foods and we decided to start in South America. We went through popular foods that were made in South America and decided to do tamales because they sounded like they would taste the best. Camden was put in charge of researching and decided to have a couple different study points.
Where was it made
When was it made
Who made it
Why was it made
When did it become popular
How was it made
How are we going to make it
These were our study points for the rest of the podcast and they would help us with our research into the food. We decided to make our podcast list based on continents. We decided to go with South America, Europe, and Asia. We wanted the first two episodes to be entrees and the final episode to be a dessert. We searched and found Tamales for South America, Fettuccine Alfredo for Europe, and Ice Cream for Asia.
It was more difficult to record than expected. We recorded in the built in camera app then uploaded it to Canva and stitched it together. The problem was that the videos were all saved on different computers since it took multiple days to record. After we stitched everything together, we uploaded it to a youtube channel. The microphone we used was a snowball microphone.
The execution of the dishes was also harder than expected. One of our dishes, the grape ice cream, was not ready until the night before. Our taste tester was very busy, and had to get the ice cream from a local store in bowling green. He brought the honey from home and it ended up delicious. Every other dish was a simple warm up dish.
