Before you write your script, you need to know some more about your cuisine. Use the presentation below to organize your group’s research.

Groups of 3 people, you only need to do one dish (though you can choose to do 2). Groups of 5, you need to do the research on 3 dishes.

Here are your groups. The first thing that you need to do is start researching both the dish(es) and the region in which they are found. To get started, make notes on whatever you find.
