About this exposition

Food practices, a general term for the actions around food, including cooking and eating. They are part of our everyday activities which fundamentally support us, so that we can carry out other daily activities. However, food practices are more than just about resources of nutrients, especially in the current world in which efficiency and conveniency dominate our lifestyle. The nature of food practices has a very strong connection with bodily experience and personal memory, which are situated not only in the action of eating but also through the process of food making. After one individual relocates to a new country, in order to respond to the new environment, he/she has to take actions to change, including but not only of the food practices. These changes will lead him/her go on a searching journey – searching who am I? Where I belong to? Where is home? In this article, through food practices in the kitchen, I will touch upon the topics around migration, identity and belonging within the thematic framework of everyday utopias.
