eurocook
a project by Jasmina Llobet and Luis Fernández Pons
2005


In the project “eurocook” we analyze differences and similarities between the cuisines of the European countries. Through an accurate research we create an inventory of historical events throughout the European cooking-history, collect recipes and draw new maps of Europe according to the criteria’s of cooking.

A country’s gastronomy cannot be separated from the political, economic, religious and climatic aspects, which necessarily define and transform the cooking habits. “euro-cook” examines different aspects of the actual conditions of today’s food market: fast-food, multinational companies, production, genetical manipulation. Therefore, taking a look at the European gastronomy means also taking a look at the sociopolitical situation of Europe.
