“Don’t play with your food!” – the admonishment we’ve often heard in our childhood is cheerfully brushed aside in this project; what happens when we take cooking out of the kitchen and into the world of design? The kitchen becomes a playground for celebrating “foodies”.

For Valcucine, Maurizio Galante & Tal Lancman invited twenty-two guests to respond to one challenge: to each concoct a dish. Borrowing omnivorously from multiple media, architects, advertising creatives, photographers, painters, industrial designers, as well as artists specialising in edible art, the project rounds up a full set of flavours, comprising a three course imaginary culinary menu, to be devoured firstly with the eyes, it provides food for thought.
