Step by Step Written Solution
Today we are going to write a design brief for a culinary project. We will follow a four-part framework: the problem, the final product, the constraints, and the goal. Let's work through an example together.
Writing a Culinary Design Brief
First, we address the problem or opportunity. We need to identify a core problem based on cultural identity and available resources.
1. The Problem / Opportunity
The problem is that many people do not understand how street food is a powerful form of cultural identity.
We can add that our product will be a practical demonstration of using culinary narratives and available resources to overcome this lack of understanding.
Next is the Final Product. Here we specify exactly what we are making and its cultural inspiration.
2. The Final Product
My final product will be a savory dish called Arancini inspired by the country of Italy.
