This is a blog of a dance project that is a Nordic artists’ collaboration about the function of the kitchen and the evolution of its role in the past. We focus on the archetypes operating in the modern kitchen, and on how the meaning of this domestic space has developed in regard to eating, living and sociocultural habits.

Can I do what Nigella does? Should I?

Celebrity chefs have brought glamour into cooking. Have they also helped the ordinary person at home cooking ordinary food? Perhaps. Maybe our everyday cuisine is more varied because those chefs with a status of pop stars have introduced us to more exquisite dishes. Maybe it’s quite the opposite – when we see those TV chefs, we feel inferior about our capabilities in the kitchen?


Here’s an article “Home cooks vs chefs”


What's the difference between chef's food and home cooking? Well the main difference as I see it is that chefs are professional cooks working in a restaurant kitchen and have a brigade working with them. Home cooks usually go it alone, or get the odd helping hand from their partners or kids.


Do you have any cooking idols? What do you think of famous chefs?
