Hello all!
We are extremely grateful for your participation in our project and hope this will prove to be a fun and enlightening experience for everyone!
There might be this question lurking in the back of your mind: What do we consider cooking?
There might be this question lurking in the back of your mind: What do we consider cooking?
We consider cooking to be any form of meal preparation: making a sandwich, heating up a frozen dinner, baking lasagna. We’re interested in all types of meals that come out of the kitchen. Our only restrictions are take-out and, of course, eating out.
The general protocol of the project is as follows:
Participants will keep track of their cooking routines for four meals a week, noting the times and forms of energy they use to cook their meals. We ask that you record your energy usage for each of these four meals and fill out this information on our survey (the link is listed on the right-hand column of the blog page). Please do not be intimidated – this is not a complicated form.
We also ask that participants reflect on their cooking process on the blog - responding to questions and discussion points we post, as well as other participants’ reflections. We would love for this to be an interactive, communicative process!
We’d also like everyone to understand that we, the designers of this project, will be participants as well. This will be a learning experience for everyone!
Feel free to start exploring the different pages on this blog. You can share pictures by emailing your pictures to pollockj-413c@post.me.com. They will be posted on this site: http://gallery.me.com/pollockj/100063. (The link is available on the right-hand column.)
Please take a few minutes to introduce yourself and get to know everyone!
