20% Time Project Proposal

 

Name: Joanne Park

Project Title:  (I’m not sure…still thinking)

Project Start Date: November 7^th, 2014

Project Completion Date: May 15^th, 2015

Mentor’s Name:  Linda Kim, Andy Park, and Joseph Park

Brief Description:  I am going to cook different recipes, and try to improve my cooking and share different recipes.

Overview of Project Proposal

 

1)      Project Objective:

 I plan to cook a dish once a week and write down the recipe along with my own comments on it. I plan on making things from scratch, or just by myself.

By the end of this year I hope to have a cook book with all the different recipes in it. Or just being able to help my parents cook dinner when they are not feeling well.

2)      Project Rationale:

I am doing this because I enjoy cooking and baking, but I am not the best at it. Plus I really like trying new things and I REALLY love eating >.<.  Food is good, really good. Anyways I want to improve my cooking skills so that I can cook m self something to eat when my parents are not feeling well or sleeping.

That is another reason why I want to learn how to cook, so I can help my parents. I want to be able to help them out when they are sick or busy. Also I could make them a meal for their birthdays or Mother’s/ Father’s day.
