Random Cooking

This is a project I did for my class Conceptual Strategies. It is a great way of cooking if you are bored to plan meals, if you've ran out of idea or if you just want to have fun.
I thought it would fit right in this blog!

The Recipe :
- cooking randomly: (after Rirkrit Tiravanija)
go to your grocery store. photograph the outside.
go to isle 3. halfway down the isle on the right side, pick a food item.
(if isle is not food items, go to the next isle up that is food, 4 then 5...)
do the same on isle 6.
if your grocery store is teeny, (under 6 isles) get something 5 feet down the 1st isle and 2 feet down the second.
go to the produce section. starting at the very left of the produce, pick the 2nd, and 6th items in the middle-height section, and the 8th thing over high up.

photograph each item in its spot in the store, and all together on your kitchen table.

make a meal that includes all of the random ingredients, photograph it and share it with your friends.


I randomly got kamut pasta, watermelon spiced seeds, savoy cabbage, sunchokes and daikon.
So I sautéed sunchoke and cabbage in butter, served over the pasta with grated parmesan followed by grated daikon served in yoghurt with coarse salt and pepper. I used the watermelon seeds as a garnish for the daikon side dish. It was yummy
