Possible interview questions, so far...

Since you moved to the U.K in the 50's do you think there has been a change in traditions within your Greek family?(Grandma)

Do you think traditions have changed in your Greek family? (cousin)

Why do you think Greek food is an important ingredient that brings your family together? (Grandparents and cousins)

Do you take part in the preparation of Greek food at home? (Grandad, cousin)

How do you feel about cooking food for the family? (Grandma)

What do you like most about being Greek? (everyone)

I have been trying to think of questions that could be asked to the Grandparents and the cousins so that there will be a clear comparision between the answers of the older and younger generations. I need to think of more questions for the cousins whilst they're cooking and for my Grandad. However i also understand that during the interviews new topics of converstations may develop which will generate new questions.

You also need to plan more open questions. Many of these are rather closed and won't encourage the respondents to provide more detailed answers.

What is it that you are hoping to find out from these interviews? Their attitude to cooking? THeir role in the family? If you think about what you need to find out it might help you create appropriate questions.
