In this performance, apple pie recipes from visitors are collected and prepared. The traditional Dutch pie becomes a means of telling stories about national heritage, domestic labour and recipe sharing.
The performative exhibitions later transformed into a publication.

How did our ancestors feed us?
Where do the origins of ingredients meet the origins of culture?
Dutch prosperity is built on the exploitation of taste.
Your heritage is embedded in your domestic gestures.

These four sentences, embroidered on a tablecloth, formed the starting point of this project. In response, we developed a performative research methodology.
During the performance, apple-pie recipes contributed by visitors were collected and prepared immediately on site.
In build kitchens in art spaces, domestic conversations turned into performative dialogue.
Stories were sparked by embroidered tablecloths and later gathered into a collaborative recipe book.

The sweetness of the pie exposed how taste is linked to gender, while the sourcing of ingredients reminded us of the colonial histories embedded in 'Dutch' cuisine.

The traditional Dutch apple pie became a tool for questioning national heritage, domestic labour, and recipe sharing becomes a way to explore the knowledge and power concealed in recipes.
