Ricettario

Elena from SIS initiated the collective recipes book, better known as Ricettario.

“Like a short story, a good recipe can put us in a delightful trance. The Oxford English Dictionary defines fiction as literature “concerned with the narration of imaginary events.” This is what recipes are: stories of pretend meals and happenings. The scene narrative has a specific role—like a passport, you use it to gain entry to a foreign place. That is what you feel when reading recipes, which offer the adventure of being taken into the unfamiliar world of the writer.

This ricettario was initiated as a result of the one-week dwelling excursion of Master program SIS in Habitat. 7 days, 21 collective meals, 24 mouths to feed, and many litres of wine later. We’ve cut, tasted, licked, shaped, watered, messed, planned, washed, peeled, burnt, mixed, sifted, played, sang, danced, tarnished, greased, cleaned, and over and over again.
