About the project

Women* (including trans, genderqueer and non-binary folx) have historically played an important role in feeding the world, saving seeds or ensuring biodiversity but have not been portrayed as such. In order to combat the neglect of women at the forefront of ensuring humanity’s survival the project aims to increase their visibility.

Stay tuned for some interesting stories…

from France, India, Australia, Germany and many more to come!

Sharing on behalf of the wonderful @foodventures_w Sharing on behalf of the wonderful @foodventures_with_fatti 🌱 Women* of colour cooks/chefs** we need you!! Want to be part of a unique, exciting and empowering book venture? Read on.... Kitchen Cultures is embarking on a new project! 🥳 We are on a mission to showcase the incredible skills of UK based women of colour(WOC) working as cooks/chefs, while honouring their stories through their food journey. All this while reducing household food waste you say? Yes I do say! How are we doing this? With collaboration is how! We are looking write a book where WOC chefs create recipes with their "kin-spiration" aka mums (or aunts, or grans, or dads or whoever inspired/taught you to cook at home!) using ingredients that are comonly wasted in the UK home kitchen. Your kin-spiration person doesn't need to live in the UK, good ole' virtual technology means we can still reach them. If your kin-spiration is sadly no longer with us, please apply anyway! APPLY HERE (via linktree on bio): @foodventures_with_fatti We would like this book to be created as a cooperative venture; everyone who works on it, from the chefs to the agent to the photographer, to be a woman of colour in the UK, and be fairly compensated for their time. We wish to decolonise systems of oppression that exist in the hospitality industry, create better visibility for WOC chefs, and stand together against food waste. If you are, or know of, any WOC chefs, literary agents, or graphic designers who want to be part of the team - get in touch or send them our way! Share, share, share & spread the word far and wide folks!❤️ DM ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS! *all references to "women" means all individuals primarily identifying as a woman, non-binary people, and all those who do not primarily identify as a man. Kitchen Cultures is a trans-inclusive space **by cooks/chefs we also mean food writers/restaurant owners/school chefs/supper club business owners/retreat chefs/anyone who works with food in a direct way, full or part time. #chefjobs #ukchef #cookbookcorner #foodstories #kitchencultures #preservingculture #womenchefs #girlchefs #recipes #chefshoutout #shoutout #womenofcolor #wefeedtheworld
