How
might the act of
cooking
and
eating
together serve as a
conduit for
other ways of knowing? other forms of learning? alternative topics of conversation?
Come Over at 6? is an ongoing project revolving around evenings spent cooking and eating dinners in my friends’ homes. Using themes of family, heritage, and childhood recipes as underlying context for our conversations throughout each night, the act of cooking and eating together has become a means through which to open new avenues for interpersonal learning and connection.
The result is a collection of zines that form a compiled cookbook, in a sense; because what is a cookbook if not a series of recipes woven together by some narrative thread?
