1. I hypothesize that people in the past, though very different, cooked food in the same sort of ways we do now. With this project, I hope to learn about different cooking techniques throughout different millennia in China and compare them to modern cooking practices. I have always been interested in different cultures’ ways of cooking so learning more about past cooking techniques interests me. I also want to know how they decided what plants and animals they would cook and if there was anything recorded on how they passed that information down from generation to generation. 2. My approach will be a comparison of the oldest cooking methods I can find and more recent techniques. I do live in dorms where I need a meal plan but if I find a recipe I am able to replicate, I will try to cook it in the shared cooking space here. Most likely, however, my project will comprise mainly of research on what kinds of techniques and foods were cooked back then. I will begin by researching the different tools and seasonings they used back then in China and comparing them to the tools and seasonings we have now. I hypothesize they will not be very different as there are not that many ways to make a spoon to stir with. 3. My question is “How similar are current ways of cooking compared to cooking in prehistoric Chinese times” and “How did people at the time avoid diseases that are dangerous today if food is not cooked properly?” I chose these questions because I am very interested in knowing how mankind was able to thrive as a species before the time of modern inventions. I also would probably narrow my area of research to ancient China

and their traditions with seasoning because they have a long history related to seasoning and cooking traditions.
