PARTICIPATION IN OCCUPATION TWO

05-09-2011

The occupation I have chosen to look at this semester is cooking. I enjoy cooking both for myself and for others, which has become a typical part of my flatting life. When cooking for only myself I like to experiment with new recipes and new ingredients, however when cooking for flatmates and family I will often stick to recipes which I know work for me. Cooking is something I intend to continue doing throughout my life and I would like to grow and expand on the types of things I am capable of cooking. Cooking is also a passion of my mothers and grandmothers and I consider them both very skillful in this domain, as I develop my skills with cooking I intend to attempt recipes I liked when I was a child or that remind me of home.Cooking is something which identifies as meaningful for a lot of people and therefore should be relevant to my Occupational Therapy practice in the future, cooking can be used as both an assessment and an intervention. This week I will focus more definately on what I am doing whilst I cook and consider the processes invloved during this.

  1. Breanna, you have done well at expressing how cooking impacts on your personal life, I wish you well on your journey of expanding on recipes that you are already capable of cooking.This will improve your skills which is great. Expressing to the readers of what you endeavour to do next week was also great as even i as a reader feel i want to stick around and see what experiences you write about next! One thing perhaps you could have a think about next time is maybe using some pictures to Liven up the page a bit more. Great work, Thanks, Rachel.
