*Edit-a-Table

*Ingredients



*Prepwork and groundwork



*Method

  1. Check out the instructions and ingredients in front of you.
  2. Think collectively of how you would like to contribute to the recipe
  3. Organise into a comfortable formation, for example in a circle or in smaller work-groups
  4. Place burghul in a bowl. Cover with boiling water and let it soak.
  5. In the meantime, start to chop up the ingredients to re-arrange their parts.
  6. Fry, boil, shake, crush or use any other alteration method, to make the ingredients your own.
  7. Add herbs and political spices to give it the desired flavour and purpose.
  8. Put all the ingredients in a bowl. Keep in mind your ratio in relation to that of others, how they contextualise each other. 
  9. Consider creating a new, separate bowl with a more specific purpose if needed.
  10. You can also find references to guide you, for example Alison Knowles' Make a Salad http://www.saladforpresident.com/sfp-salads/alison-knowles-make-a-salad/
  11. Stir to combine.
  12. Preview, taste, and feel free to adapt, write down your recipe modifications. If you have contributed to several bowls, note how they are linked to each other. 
  13. Place oil and lemon juice in a screw-top jar. Secure lid. Shake to combine. Drizzle over.
*Serving tips

  1. Come back to your bowl and assess how your ingredients have been altered. 
  2. Share with the people around you and talk about what we have been working on
  3. Eat together, talk together, for example like the project The Family Dinner http://thefamilydinner.se

*Notes from 26th of August

A participative moment for cooking / cooking an article / cooking a kit / collective editable cooking recipe 

Starting from a recipe that we prepare in advance, which incorporates “ingredients” from the organisation of an event (care, welcoming inclusive safer space, reflections on institutions, structures), references (Alison Knowles' Make a Salad, Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party, Hanna Wildow's The Family Dinner program mixing feminists writings into a conversation…), tools and food ingredients, for a hummus and tabbouleh(?)
We invite people to bring a tool or an ingredient, we gather in groups around different tables or a big table, and we prepare the different parts of the recipe together, editing the score as we go along, talk, add things, remove things, etc!
+ table cloth or plates or tools on which we draw/print inspiring elements (? to be defined)


*Title proposition

something with care and recipe?





*Presentation text

Over the past years we have been arranging events addressing gender bias in the online rewriting of history, using Wikipedia as a case study to question the way we write, record and archive history today. Creating a welcoming space where all participants are comfortable to contribute, both physically as well as online, has always been an important part of our gatherings and one of the tools we have used for this pupose has been food. This time around we are interested in bringing food center stage, working on questions of collective writing through sharing  and editing recipes together, and see them as a toolkit for organizing events with feminist perspectives and structures. 

Participants are welcome to take part in this collaborative cooking table by bringing food, tools and tips to edit and spice up the recipe, engaging all of us in discussions and reflections, mixing ingredients such as feminist writings, care, inclusivity, safe places etc.


To be asked to the participants
We ask each participant to bring:
    a fruit and a vegetable and/or cooking tool


*EMAIL for L & C

Dear Louise and Cristian,
How are you?
Very sorry for our late answer, we were on a long summer break!
You will find here a more elaborated proposition for our participation to ERIAZO on the weekend of the 3d and 4th of November:

It would be also good to send some days before the event a reminder to the participants, asking them bring tools and ingredients (we still need to precise inbetween us the dish we will propose), but it might look something like this:



The workshop/presentation/colective cooking spectacle will in the end result in a recipe (toolkit) that we have edited together with the crowd, and that can be shared with all the participants. We will also have prepared some other documents and references that will be introduced as ingredients. 

We propose you the following schedule:
Saturday afternoon, starting between 16:00 and 17:00 > so we can prepare an apero! 2-3 hours active event, and then chill, eat and hang out.

For our project we would need the following equipment:

We looked at plane tickets: most of us would take the flight from Brussels to Basel which arrives on Friday late evening at 21:55 and go back to Brussels on Sunday at 19:10 — does it seem fine for you?


Looking so much forward to this!
Sorry again for the long wait over the summer. 

All the best,




To be asked to the participants

We ask each participant to bring:
    one vegetable and/or cooking tool
