Spotlight on Literacy #7 - Collecting Family Recipes

Collect a Family Recipe

Uncle Steve makes wonderful chocolate chip cookies, and Aunt Suzi makes delicious pumpkin bars. Often grandmothers or grandfathers have favorite dishes that they bring for family potlucks or serve for holiday meals.   For the next couple of days make a plan to find recipes from your family.  Gather just one or create a cookbook for the family.  Perhaps even make copies of the cookbook and plan to gift other members of the family.

Think about a favorite food that you like that someone has made for you.  Write a letter or send a message to the person or you might want to phone and ask for the recipe.  Write the recipe down and collect information about the recipe.  Use these templates if they are helpful.

Use the recipe and ask an adult to help you make the recipe and share the results.
