We warmly invite you to take part in Europe’s Kitchen, a cultural project by the Goethe-Institut, working in collaboration with the Soul Food Sisters in Glasgow. They have generously shared a recipe for us to distribute in Huntly, through our Neep & Okra At Home recipe boxes.
The video installations BLACK IS A BEAUTIFUL WORD. I&I (2019) and THE GAZE (2017-ongoing) by Danish-Trinidadian artist Jeannette Ehlers are the starting point for Europe’s Kitchen in Scotland. An event series in Glasgow and Huntly combines food, recipes and intellectual responses to Jeannette Ehlers` art to create different forms and layers of exchange, locally as well as online.
Even without a shared physical space, a community can be connected by a culinary experience. As we unfortunately are not able to organise a local workshop with the Soul Food Sisters, we decided to send out this box so you can recreate the Soul Food Sisters` meals and share the experience.
The acknowledgement of each other’s presence that the act of sitting down at a table together represents is deeply impacted by the current crisis. Far from diminishing the role of the shared meal, this adaptation is an affirmation of togetherness during these difficult times – flexibility and spontaneity have long been core traits of the kitchen after all!
The one off At Home recipe boxes will be available from 8 Castle Street for from Friday 29th Oct, and will include delicious vegan recipes for Algerian Stew and Cardamon Rice. The box will have all the ingredients you would need, both fresh and pantry items, to cook a delicious meal at home. Along with the recipe and ingredients, we have included a postcard and postage stamp, in which we would love to hear your feedback and thoughts about how you see yourself in Europe, and how Europe sees you. Any responses can be kept anonymous.
If you would like to reserve your free At Home recipe box, or for more details please email kawther@deveron-projects.com
We wish you a wonderful meal together.
With warmest wishes from Europe`s Kitchen, the Goethe-Institut and Soul Food Sisters.
