Who gets to decide what makes a recipe ‘traditional’? And whose stories get left out along the way?
To queer a recipe is to question the instructions and traditions we inherit through food. In this workshop, Queer Recipes Archive invites you to rethink recipes and the stories they tell, beginning with a reimagined recipe prepared and performed live by the facilitators, followed by a small tasting. Through this performance, you’ll consider how migration, labour, gender and power shape the ingredients we use and the ways we cook.
Then it’s your turn. Participants will rewrite the recipe through their own memories and desires, creating a double-layered zine that they can take home. Those who wish to can also contribute their zine to the growing Queer Recipes Archive, a collection of stories told through food.
Presented by Edible Theatre (@aftertaste.supperclub), led by Jo Pereira da Costa (@jopereiradcosta) and co-hosted by @pomegranate___seeds.
Open to adults aged 18 and over, with a particular welcome to queer and trans people, and anyone interested in food, culture and storytelling. No cooking or writing experience is needed, and all materials are provided.
