Opening:12 May 2022
The Sunday Cook is the inaugural publication by Kottage, based on the homonymous
collaborative Instagram project, born during the first COVID-19 quarantine.
Celebrating the importance of interdisciplinarity by bridging the realms of food and
art, it documents the culinary experimentations of various contemporary Greek
artists — viewing the kitchen as an extension of the studio. The book is part
cookbook part art book, featuring a collection of diverse recipes, photographs of
their ingredients, execution and luscious results, as well as accompanying texts and
interviews, exploring creative hybridity and its transcultural potential.
The launch will include a presentation of the publication, which will be available for
purchase — as well as the onsite execution of an original recipe by Greek-
Palestinian-Jordanian chef Vasilis Chamam, conceived especially for the event and in
direct dialogue with the project’s ideas and content, which will be served to the
audience.
Participating artists: Natasa Biza, Eleni Christodoulou, Dimitris Efeoglou, Alexis
Fidetzis, Valentina Karga, Chrysanthi Koumianaki, Virginia Mastrogiannaki, Kosmas
Nikolaou, Malvina Panagiotidi, Nefeli Papadimouli, Kostas Pappas, Nana Sachini,
Fotis Sagonas, Evangelia Spiliopoulou, Valinia Svoronou, Maria Tsagkari, Maria Varela
With texts by: Sofia Eliza Bouratsis, Vasilis Chamam, Anastasis Stratakis, Christina
