Gourmet Gab: On the Go The Creation of a Web Series Dedicated to College Cooking and Nutrition

The purpose of this thesis was to create a web series educating college students about cooking and nutrition. Due the students' on-the-go lifestyle and lack of experience in the kitchen, meals are often consumed outside of the house and typically lack the recommended nutrition content for a healthy diet. In my research, I studied what college students are eating, where they are spending their money and how to create a web series that would help to remedy the problems. Viewers will be able to watch the episodes on YouTube, where young adults age 18-24 spend a large amount of time engaging in multimedia. The goal is for the audience watching Gourmet Gab: On the Go to be educated and entertained. Every episode they will learn about cooking fundaments, basic nutrition or how to make better choices for an overall healthier lifestyle. Additionally, each episode will include at least one new healthy, easy and inexpensive recipe.
