In transit

Its 5/22/13, and the book has been marked by UPS as in transit and currently located in Tacoma, Washington. It should come in just a few days, and I will happily post the picture!

Done.

This would be the confirmation of the book order. It will be here by the date of my keystone. Or so I hope..!

One more step!

The moment that I hoped would come many months ago. I have 3 more recipes to add to the book, and post my personal picture on the cover and we are ready for production. Cooking in college here we come!

The Cookbook!

To all those reading this blog -

The survey has long been completed and the results are in. They will all be released at a later time via print screen, where you will be able to see the actual graphs themselves. Also, I have been working on the cookbook for the last week or so. It is being produced through the bookmaking software "BLURB" and it will contain 20 pages. It will be a smaller sized cookbook that will be easy enough to carry around with those who want to have recipes on the go. Small, efficient and packed with info and deliciousness. After the book is completed it will take up to 7 days for it to arrive on my doorstep, and at that point I will publish the book and make it available for sale online to any of you who would like to purchase a copy for yourselves. Stay tuned!

Running out of time

Hi to all those who have been reading this blog in the last few months -- tomorrow marks the completion of the written component of this Keystone Project, a 5 page paper on what College Kids eat, what they think of the meal system on campus, and what they want to do differently and how it affects them. It has been an interesting research period and I look forward to sharing my findings with you via this blog and on my Keystone Presentation day.

P.S.  After talking it over with Jeremy Cole, he has granted access to use a room at JCHS for a cooking demo in the next coming week or so. I will send out an email to the student body and faculty for a select group of 20 who would like to attend this interesting and delicious presentation.

Look forward to seeing you there,
                                                      Jonathan

The results are in! Well partially...

Over the last few weeks I have closely monitored the results of the survey day by day. They prove my points perfectly and coincide with what my original idea of my paper was going to be - that the majority of people do not believe that it is possible to cook in a dorm setting YET want to save money. Hows that work? Hmm... Over 80% of 70 survey takers responded that it is not possible to cook in a dorm. How about that?

Peeking in

As I posted the survey just a few days ago, I have been looking at the results as they increase slowly. Some of these statistics are proving exactly what my thoughts and suspicions were originally, which motivated me to pursue this keystone. In the next few weeks I will post the final results, and what each of the surveyors answered.

Quick stat - 60% of 20 surveyors consider themselves to have some sort of cooking knowledge or expertise.
