__ **Abstract:** __

 OPEN GRANDMA'S HOUSE is a storytelling website, that   teaches people how to cook traditional Thai food, desserts and drinks by using family recipes with creative instructions. Nowadays, there are lots of Thai foods that are becoming well known and favorites for many people.This leads them to try and cook Thai food such as by learning from television, books, and websites, which is popular and convenient. There are more than a thousand websites that teach Thai food cooking. I’ve noticed most of them have similar functions, that teach with text but the layouts are disorganized. There are just a few sites that provide video tutorials and pictures of ingredients. This is an important reason that makes cooking my country food difficult for foreigners. They don’t know how to find the ingredients. In addition, most recipes and ingredients are adapted because of this. It would be nice if we could learn cooking in a new way that is simple, creative through interactivity. I would like to create a flash-based website to make cooking Thai food easier and interesting for users. Besides having fun learning cooking Thai food through several creative ways, users will also gain knowledge about Thai eating culture. In addition, learning through my website may encourage people to cook at home and have a dinner with their family. Users will learn all the skills, and that will happen at my grandma’s traditional house.

__ **Statement of Interest** __ **__:__**

 I grew up in a Buddhist country, Thailand where there is a beautiful heritage. However, I was raised in both styles, which combined with Eastern and Western culture. I was taught to live in a modern way from my parent, but I also learned how to live in a traditional style with my grandma. When I was a child, I've often stayed with her. She taught me a lot of interesting things related to Thai culture, such as cooking traditional food, carving vegetable and fruits, manners and more. I most enjoy learning skill related to food because there is always a new fun way to create a dish. In addition, eating food is an important activity in Thailand. Besides focusing on taste, we also pay attention to ingredients and decoration. I think these skills are very interesting and useful for people to know.

Creating a website called "OPEN GRANDMAʼS HOUS" for my final project is a perfect opportunity to present to the world the skills I learned from my family as well as to learn more about my culture. Also, it's giving me a chance to combine my experience as public relations practitioner and my computer skills with a new media and web design degree from my master degree. I will perform as PR person presenting my family’s traditional food recipes and variety beautiful cultures related to eating. I see my project as my grandma’s traditional house. I will transfer her place into half cartoon and realistic picture and animate it in flash. User can walk around and inside the house and also learn cooking skills in a traditional kitchen with my grandma cartoon character as well as get to know ingredients from her vegetable garden at the back of her house. I intend to study more about flash, motion graphic and illustrator to develop my interactive design and drawing skill. I would like to transfer my idea into my website as much as possible, so users can have fun with my imagination in an interactive part as well as learning new skills from my website.
