Choosing your Culture You should choose a culture that is appropriate as well as interesting to you!!! Make sure you will be able to gather enough information

Researching Look For these Points 1.Geographic Location 2.Beliefs 3.Dress 4.Music 5.Festivals 6.Holidays 7.Language 8.Other interesting facts *Make sure to use a valid source for your information, and always keep a bibliography of where you have pulled info! *NO Plagerism

Selecting a traditional dish When selecting a Dish… 1. Make sure it is feasible to cook. 2. Make sure it taste good! 3. Make sure you can make enough for 10 servings

Cooking Skills You don’t have to be an expert chef!!! If you need help ask for it, don’t be afraid, I'm sure mom or dad will be more than glad to help you. Cook the dish at least once before you just make it an try it in to work out the quirks.

You don’t want all of this hard work that you have been putting in to not get you a good grade Safety Tips 1. Don’t Drop your food on the way to the Banquet 2. Do not do anything malicious to the food 3.Be able to give the ingredients incase someone is allergic 4.Make sure your food is Tasty*, meaning it is edible, not too hot, not disgusting!!!
