I’ll be honest: I’m not making much progress. I’m at somewhat a complete inertia in trying to decide a topic. I don’t want to commit to a topic I am not passionate about, or at least would have trouble writing a lot about. One topic that particuarly interested me was comparing celebrity chef’s cookbooks. I forgot who mentioned it in class, but someone mentioned that 2 Chainz has a cookbook, and if that isn’t worth researching, I don’t know what is.<\/p>\n
The main tool I have been using to try and find exemplary sources is Google. I am best at evaluating and utilizing digital sources, and I think I will keep it that way. It’s 2017, so I shouldn’t have a problem finding a plethora of relevant information online. One topic I was also thinking about was recipes in the digital space, such as websites like allrecipes.com, where individual users can submit and rate recipes. I think it could be promising to investigate how professional chefs and culinary celebrities are beginning to be overshadowed by strangers on the internet, who just have a really good recipe to share. Another topic I have looked in to is investigating GIF\/Video recipe makers like “Delish,” which have amassed tens of millions of followers and inspired much of our class to cook.<\/p>\n
As I write this, I realize that I definitely want to focus my research about food media in the digital space. Hopefully, I will have narrowed down my research to a specific topic by the end of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
