Hosted in Domaine de Boisbuchet by The Gramounce, Landscape Cooking is a workshop exploring practices and ideas of cooking, fermenting, and transforming food in renewed attunement with our surroundings. What forms of practical, poetical and spiritual connection can we develop with weather events and ecosystemic relationships by focusing on foraging, eating and digesting food? What embodied processes could deconstruct the cultural distinction between the ecosystems we are part of and those that are part of us? Artist Inês Coelho da Silva and I hosted a space for co-creation and peer-to-peer exchange where artists, chefs, and designers could explore the edible landscapes they inhabit. Solar-oven cooking, ethical foraging, plant-based dyes made with river water, and cooking over embers or in an earth oven were among the various practices and techniques we used to, in the words of Irit Rogoff, “become research”. Poetically guided by the four elements (air, water, fire and soil), we developed dreamy guided meditations, embodied exercises, lectures, storytelling circles and bedtime stories. The workshop concluded with the display of several experiments on a hand-stitched picnic blanket. Composed of local seasonal ingredients, the serving included four types of ‘landscape’ cold teas, grape leaf and vine infused milk (with a paring of soapwort foam), bread cutlery sculptures, Persian pebble bread, fig leaves butter, wild angelica polenta cake, ‘friendship pesto’ (nettle and plantago with pistachio), magical starlight salt, leaks cooked on open fire, a refreshing lavender hydrosol (or, as we called it, hydro-soil), vegan dandelion honey and dandelion root coffee. Participants also displayed recipes, ideas, and foraging notes in notebooks, the covers of which were portable textile tablecloths dyed with foraged plants.
