Marie and I are both social designers exploring the space between food, culture, and design. We met during our Master’s at Design Academy Eindhoven, and quickly discovered that cooking together helped us feel closer to our faraway homes. We come from very different places, both from each other and from the Netherlands, but nostalgia gave us common ground. That connection to cultural identity is something we have carried into our artistic work.

Our goal is to explore the kitchen through a designer’s lens — using food practices as a way to think about globalization, local identity, and cultural exchange. Our research focuses on Korean cooking in Eindhoven, looking at how and why certain dishes are made, how ingredients are accessed, and how culinary practices can create bridges between locals and internationals.

We also created a book to go alongside the project. It builds in difficulty and is based on just 16 ingredients.

 The idea is that as someone works through the recipes, they start to understand how to use those ingredients intuitively, adapting them to their own cuisine, just like we have learned to do.
