Dear Reader

Dear Reader,

This year,  I decided to take WISE class as an alternative to English 12. The idea of doing standard english work for the first half of the year and working on a project for the second was really enticing. I had a long time to decide what my project should be, and now my idea is fully developed and already in motion. For the second semester of WISE class, I will be cooking foods of all varieties and compiling all of my knowledge into a cookbook. I will be cooking a meal for my family at least twice a week, and I will be taking pictures of all the finished products so I can use them in my book. I want to include 32 recipes, which will be printed on high-quality gloss paper at gnomon copy. The end result is going to be professional looking, and it will be the perfect indication of all my hard work. I decided to cook for my project because I believe that it is an essential skill and I have always been interested in it as a hobby and as a potential career. I have grown up in a traditional Italian family, so I fully understand the importance of food. I have already started cooking, and I'm excited to see my book come to fruition.
