What I Learned While
Researching



There are different types of vegan diets –
some more restrictive than others.
Although it's possible, it's not a good idea to
raise a child as a vegan.
There are lots of benefits to being vegan,
however there are plenty of consequences
as well.
Product





I made a cookbook of easy and fun vegan
recipes. Many are vegan versions of
common dishes.
I used a small scrapbook and decorations to
make it.
I worked on the product during my free time.
My product gives people a way to
incorporate vegan food into their normal
diet.
I did not have a mentor.
What I Learned from the Product



TIME MANAGEMENT!
Chose something you know you'll
have fun making.
Making a cookbook is more timeconsuming than you think!
Connecting my Paper to my
Product
My paper talked about how to stay
healthy and eat well as a vegan, so
my cookbook offered easy and
healthy recipes.

Successes:

Challenges:

Time management
and procrastination.
Sticking with the
time line.
Finding trustworthy
sources.
Reflection

I will use these recipes in the future and
share them with my family and friends.
I took away a new knowledge of a different
diet and lifestyle, as well as new ways to
make veggies taste good!
