This week I'm teaming up with Rafael to make Japanese food! Datemaki is a Japanese omelet-like dish that is eaten for New Years Celebrations. It is a sweet that is sold at most Japanese markets. Unfortunately the recipe required some ingredients I don't have access to, I am also very behind with this project, and I would like to move on to India this weekend instead.
For my final project I want to make a cookbook and start a fundraising program. The cookbook will include foods that I have researched and made for this project. I also want to include recipes that I have created. I've recently gone on a sort of health kick with my new Nutri-bullet blender and the weekly box of organic food that my family gets every week as a marching band fundraiser. In this past month I've made lots of smoothies and found healthier ways to eat. For the fundraiser I plan on doing myself, I will be inviting a family-sized group of people to my house and serve them a meal including lots of different ethnic foods for a suggested donation of $7 per person.
I'll be starting to plan my TEDTalk this week, and I'm open to topic suggestions that are related to my project. Thanks everyone for reading!
