Revolution+Recipe

Based on what you learned about the stages of revolution and the key events of the French Revolution, you must create a recipe for one of the revolutions inspired by the French Revolution that is similar to an actual food recipe that may be found in a restaurant that serves food typically consumed by your nation.

c. The expected yield of the recipe (Overall impact or results of the revolution.)

d. A Visual graphic representation of the recipe and finished product (A professional looking poster)
