Introduction
Most people in life now, only think about fast food and buying food to save their time. Some people think that cooking is interesting especially when it comes to dessert and I was one of those people. I have a special interest in pastry and dessert. When I first came to this school I never thought of cooking but one of the subject in this school which is Design Technology has change my perspective towards food. I found it interesting and fun especially when I have to create a jam for my assignment. When I was first presented about personal project in grade 9, I immediately think about something related to cooking because it was my personal interest out of all things that I have experienced and enjoy. Personal project is not all about impressing people but we have to like and enjoy it in order to create an amazing product that reflects ourselves well. One thing is that if I only created one single cooking it will be too usual for people. I wanted to make something extraordinary but the project has to reflect myself and I have to enjoy it. After I did some brainstorm, I decided that it would be desserts recipes book with unusual design unlike normal recipes book that I usually found in the bookstore to attract people because I like designing things and making desserts. I think this project is well suited for myself.

The Goal
The goal for my project is to enjoy the experiences of making Asian’s desserts and compiles it in a form of book.

Linking my Project to the Areas of Interaction
The project I created will relate to the Area of Interaction, Human Ingenuity because my project aims to let out my creativity, new ways of thinking and it develops new ideas to influence society which really reflects Human Ingenuity. By creating this recipe book, people will be interested in reading and learning about the recipes contain within it. I hope that people will save some of their time to cook and learn that cooking is fun through my recipe book, they will also have some addition knowledge about some desserts through my recipe book. I believe that through this project people will tend to learn more about dessert and be more interested in making desserts. Attractive picture and sample of cooking in the recipe books can make them interested and try to make some of the recipes. I develop 4 guiding questions to help me with my project, which are:

Guiding Questions
- What does Nina - have for skills (dessert, books), like/dislike - dessert, like/dislike about books
- What type of desserts, origin/ history, material, skills, equipment
- Books - design (layout, color, font), printing, unique

The specifications that I created were that the book should:

- Unique form of book
