Food Charette 1

My grad project is exploration of our diverse eating routine and how the idea of remix and redesign of objects can explore this behavior. To communicate this observation and idea I am making a set of tableware.

At the start of the term I decided to conduct some experiments. The first one is a food charette. In collaboration with Mechelle Fu we cooked a meal without using any utensils, except cooking pots and pans. We used our finger and hands to sear, fry and break part the food. We made two dishes, tofu boats and fried banana with pistacheos. Below are a few shots from the process.
