THE SUNDAY COOK: BOOK LAUNCH

  • Curation:
    Tenia Menegaki, Christina Tzekou
  • 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

Tzekou
