Cooking Culturally

I must say, I feel that Cultured Cooking was by far my favorite presentation. It addresses and benefits a problem that society greatly needs help with. Being open minded and allowing others to feel free with being themselves. Who wouldn’t like to feel comfortable being who they truly are?

As individuals, most of us feel that we must conceal who we really are, what we like to do, or how we like to do it, to refrain from getting judged. Cultured Cooking puts it out there with an explanation behind it. Everyone has reasons for what they do and how they do it but others have just not been enlightened on exactly why. I feel like Cultured Cooking is such a great idea because it allows for those who might want to be enlightened but cannot afford, to be able to do so. This project hit home for me because I am an open-minded person. When being around people who have no interests in learning more, it shows just how much they have limited themselves.

 I really enjoyed they videos that were showed during the presentation. The videos showed how many things are similar as well as different when comparing foods internationally. Since breakfast is definitely my favorite meal of the day, it made me want to try breakfast from all of the world. It would be great to see this project become true.

The idea of buy one give one is great. It reminded me of the concept with Toms, but even better because less people are going hungry. The whole plan of Cultured Cooking is extremely beneficial because people are not only learning, but are helping others as well. It will help people to become more diverse and have a lot of fun while doing it! People love to eat and it would be amazing to know that you are in some way experiencing another culture in depth. Individuals more than like become less judgmental when they simply learn about a concept. Food is the simplest way to do so. Everyone can show their culture differences and similarities as one.
