Nostalgic Food

How to share a memory with strangers

This dish was based on a slow cooked chicken recipe I grew up eating. I wanted the person eating this dish to experience the same sense of nostalgia that I do. I presented the chicken in a form that would be universally understood and would provoke memories of childhood for many.

​

Many people grew up eating toaster strudels, opening the box and decorating them with the little frosting packet. I created small packets containing puréed carrot as the "frosting", and fried garlic as the "sprinkles". I had guests unbox and decorate their own toaster strudel.

Thank you to Rosmarin for helping me and allowing me to use their space as a platform for my work.
