Students interview staff, teachers, or other trusted adults, collecting recipes to assemble a multicultural cookbook made up of recipes featuring vegetables and/or fruit.

Student leaders compile the recipe book.

Students might take photos or team up with the photography club and have them take photos to illustrate their recipes.

What Else Do We Need?

  • A computer and printer
  • Paper
  • Writing utensils

How Do We Get Creative?

Consider displaying recipes on a classroom blog.

Consider using the collection of recipes as a fundraising item.
