What Does E15 Taste Like?
Project Overview
In this project, students were tasked with creating a recipe book to represent our local area, E15. This recipe book was to be about local people, for local people and should represent the culinary makeup of Stratford. Students worked in pairs to interview residents and capture their family recipes and their stories behind them. This Maths/English project saw students develop their ratio and scale skills alongside their writing to instruct and describe. Along the way, students built their oracy through a series of interviews, where they took notes and probed local residents to collect recipes and back stories. Students will be presenting three live cookery demos to exhibit recipes from the book, Cook E15.


What the student says
​
"My favourite part of this project was interviewing the elderly people. It was scary but I felt confident afterwards and we got some good recipes from them."
