Men's Kitchen

Kitchens have always been a domestic territory typically associated with women. However, as the culinary world professionalized didn't leave a lot of room for female cooks. From history books to reality shows, from royal courts to the great nouvelle cuisine chefs, male names have always taken the spotlight. With my personal history as a starting point and the support from archival material from different times, I use my family history (a lineage of chefs from l'Alt Empordà that marked the tradition of Catalan cuisine) as a springboard to construct a critical and searing interpretation of culinary tradition and the way women's role in it has been rendered invisible.
