How to Cut up a Chicken

Marie Ynami of Mommy Community put together this great little video for a friend on how to cut up a chicken. This is a simple video without any bells and whistles. However, it completely serves its purpose. Marie did a great job of inserting titles and putting in disolves between scenes.

After watching Marie’s video, I realized this is an excellent idea for a video scrapbook. You’ve probably seen traditional scrapbooks with pictures of Mom or Grandma in the kitchen with their favorite recipes pasted next to their pictures.

Why not take this idea to the next level in a video scrapbook!

So grab your video camera and head to Grandma’s house. I’m sure she would love to make you your favorite dinner. Make sure you video each step of the process with Grandma narrating. At the end of the video, you could even create a slide of the recipe if needed.

In time, you could get several videos of her making different dinners and put them together on one DVD with scene selections of each meal. This would make an excellent Christmas present for family members.

I sure wish I would have gotten a video of my Granny Jo making her famous fried chicken, fried potatoes, and fried okra. Mmmmmm! I know that’s not possible anymore. I guess her great cooking is only left in my memory because she never even wrote down her recipes.

So take a peek at Marie’s video and be thinking about how you too can create a Cooking Video Scrapbook. If you have any ideas you would like to share, please leave a comment.
