Food Experience Task

Your submission will be 1000 words in length (- or + ten per cent is acceptable). 

The task: This task involves close description and interpretation of your experience of either cooking a meal or eating a meal. 

Your submission should use rich descriptive detail to explain: the food involved; the setting; the social aspects of that experience (if relevant); and the meanings of this food event. A great example of ‘auto-ethnography’ can be found in the Week 5 folder on Cooking. 

In order to insightfully interpret the meaning of this food event, you will also need to move connect your personal observations to a broader literature: you are expected to reference one or two unit readings as part of this task.

You are not permitted to use Artificial Intelligence to generate a response to this assessment task. 

Referencing: When it comes to your one or two sources you will need to use 'in-text' referencing. Place a citation in brackets in the text of the essay. For example:

Geertz (1960: 13) made the point that…

OR

Geertz notes that, “Most of the food remains uneaten” (Geertz 1960: 13).

Arrange the entries in your bibliography alphabetically by author's surname. The list should include all and only the references cited in the text. Underline or use italics for the titles of books and journals.
