Cooking the Landscape

The shared meal elevates eating from a mechanical process of fueling the body to a ritual of family and community, from the mere animal biology to an act of culture

Rhynie Woman is an artist collective formed by Debbi Beeson and Daisy Williamson. Both are from Rhynie, a village close to Huntly. They create food and foraging based events as a way of investigating local heritage. Their creative approach to hospitality provided us with sustenance for both the mind and body throughout the year.

Rhynie and the surrounding Strathbogie area is steeped in history: Rhynie Chert, Rhynie ManTap o' Noth, pictish and neolithic sites and Alexander MacKay to name just a few. Through an investigation into local food heritage, Rhynie Woman questions how food can be used to re-engage with landscape and its history?
