Project Base Learning Planning Guide for Culinary Arts Academy Juniors

Project Base Learning Planning Guide for Culinary Arts Academy  Juniors

Dining is social.  

How have foodways( the eating habits and culinary practices of a people, region, or historical period)  helped create a sense of place or American Identity? 

" “…everything about eating including what we consume, how we acquire it, who prepares it and who’s at the table – is a form of communication rich with meaning. Our attitudes, practices and rituals around food are a window onto our most basic beliefs about the world and ourselves.” (Harris, Lyon and McLaughlin, 2005, pp. VIII-IX)." 

 " The main course is meaningful conversation with tastes that convey a sense of history from lands where we originate. The spirit of America is a circle of cultural journeys, sensual exotics from different provinces and languages, yet with like smiles and under the same sky.

Sit still and be moved by diverse voices, filling experiences in your own hometown. Mingle, nibble and learn new flavors and friends in an ethos of season and soils, of enduring rituals that define us. Breathe in scents of fascinating spices and wafting jasmine blossoms. Meet international characters where folk images and tales come alive" Foodways of Austin Blog
