🍳 Los Angeles Cooking & Food Usage Study (Ages 20–49)  
Attention Los Angeles Adults (Ages 20–49): We are recruiting for a paid focus group and in-home study about cooking habits and food usage. This study requires a commitment to both parts, so please only proceed if you actively cook and are willing to complete all tasks. The pre-task includes a 7-day food log with photos, video recordings of you cooking on 4 of those days, and photos of sauces currently in your home. Incentives are $250 for a 2-hour focus group and $300 for a 2-hour in-home visit (includes pre-task). Study sessions will take place Thursday, May 14 (evening), Friday, May 15 (afternoon/evening), and Saturday, May 16 (midday/afternoon), with exact times assigned based on qualification.
