Join us for a collective cooking session, trying out recipes and activities from the ‘Kitchen Cultures’ book.

This is a free event, and books and ingredients will be provided. Places are limited, please book here.

’Kitchen Cultures’ was a project founded by multidisciplinary designer and researcher Kaajal Modi, and no-waste chef Fatima Tarkleman and funded through a remote residency with the Eden Project’s Invisible Worlds exhibition. The project worked in collaboration with migrant women of colour currently living in the UK within their own kitchens to recover preservation recipes and knowledge from their respective cuisines, and to develop new hybrid practices that could be used to reduce food waste in the home.

Through the project, six women were paired up inter-culturally and inter-generationally for six weeks during September 2020, and invited them to explore each others food and cultural practices, and to work together to develop new recipes that combined that knowledge in novel and exciting ways.
The book contains a selection of recipes, poetry, stories & ‘tasting activities’ that emerged from the project.

In this self-guided session, we’ll be using the ‘Kitchen Cultures’ book to try out recipes and activities that are designed to encourage thoughtfulness about our relationship to our food web, and invite consideration of the planet and the other beings (human and otherwise) with whom we share it.

Please contact rebecca@weareprimary with any questions or access needs.
