Disorders Recipe Book Project

You may work in pairs or groups of 3. Each person in the group is responsible for 5 recipes, so if you are in a pair, your cookbook should have at least 10 recipes. If you are in a group of 3, your book will have at least 15 recipes.
  • One recipe per page
  • Each disorder will be connected with a real food (i.e. Schizophrenic spaghetti).
  • Each recipe must include symptoms as ingredients (i.e. 2 lbs. of hallucinations, 1 part delusions of grandeur, etc.) with appropriate 'measurement' amounts
  • Include directions for how to combine the ingredients to 'make' the recipe 
  • Your front cover must have your “chef names” and your real names must be on the back.
  • Illustrations, drawing, or graphics are required for each recipe. These can be drawn or computer generated, however, the final copy must be professional, readable, and must have all the above requirements.
