Final Project Proposal Form

AMH 3341 U.S. Food History
Final Project Basic Requirements

Create an online exhibit about food in social, cultural, or historical context

Exhibit must include a substantial written component

Exhibit must include images, including maps if appropriate

Topic : To document, analyze and replicate recipes from major immigrant groups found in the
continental United States. We will acrue the recipes, recreate them using both modern and period
accurate methods, and record the entirety of the process. The recipes will range from various
centuries in the near past, and the foods will be obtained from migrant populations from the
Eurasian land mass. The food of the working and lower middle class shall be given priority, as
these are the groups that most often retain their identity after emigrating.
In order to do this project, we will need to do the following research and other activities:

Research common ingredients in immigrant food.

Research largest immigrant populations in the United States

Research the origins of these recipes

Cook and sample the recipes

Document the recipes

Mantain a regular posting schedule
