What it is? I think that everything has an origin and a story behind it. So, by pairing food and flavors and sharing it with friends, it becomes a conversation between me and them. It becomes an exchange of stories and recipes. I would like to try to get these stories out from people and try them. Everyone has a favourite food or something weird they eat as a kid or even now. The ones I choose to make, either come from my own experience or while sharing my story; it comes from others, making this conversation between me and others important. The food I pair can be usual to me and unusual to others or the other way around. This then expands on the origin of where it started and where it has reached now and where it will be in the future.
“Food should be valued less for
caloric content and more for what it expresses about relationships� - Gary Paul Nabhan
Inspirations
Incubation is an exploration of the creative act, simultaneously addressing the creation of food, the creation of life, and the creation of art. Jennifer Rubell does these interactive food installations, hence food being art where people interact.
This book is a Flavour Thesaurus, and I feel like, while it writes a lot it is not visual enough. However, still a great way of pairing food.

Inspirations Nicholas Felton spends much of his time thinking about data, charts and our daily routines. He is the author of several Personal Annual Reports that weave numerous measurements into a tapestry of graphs, maps and statistics that reflect the year’s activities.
