For my content I originally decided to create a recipe sauce book however after researching into various cookbooks and magazines I decided I would like to create something with more depth but still incorporate recipes. I watched a 4 series documentary called cooked which was highly influential of my of my publication. It follows the theme of the four elements and the cooking relation to them, While showing how cooking is important you culture. It is based mainly around the usa as they are one of the worst country to pay companies to do there cooking. research shows europe is not as bad but this is still a big concern for generations to come. As cooking is becoming more and more microwave based. My publication does not actually focus on these negatives instead it simply Highlights the elements as being important methods within cooking. Then going onto some small informational parts and then a recipe for that particular element. To further my knowledge of this content I also read Cooked the book of the tv series. This goes into much more depth than the films and providing a whole range of interesting content.
