- | Stoemp or Stamppot, a dish traditionally served in the low countries during wintertime, is named after a mode rather than it's ingredients. There exist as many variations as there are vegetables you could think of mixing with potatoes, but they have one thing in common: the cadential ' | + | Stoemp or Stamppot, a dish traditionally served in the low countries during wintertime is named after it' |

- | Peel and roughly chop potatoes. Wash the vegetables carefully, then slice fairly finely. Place all ingredients in a large stock pot, and add water to barely cover. Cover with lid, bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Drain well, then mash. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with gravy or butter. | + | //Peel and roughly chop potatoes. Wash the vegetables carefully, then slice fairly finely. Place all ingredients in a large stock pot, and add water to barely cover.

- | Luce Giard writes: “under the silent and repetitive system of everyday servitudes that one carries out by habit, the mind elsewhere, in a series of mechanically executed operations whose sequence follows a traditional design dissimulated under the mask of the obvious, there piles up a subtle montage of gestures, rites, and codes, of rhythms and choices, of received usage and practiced customs.” She reminds us of the meaningful monotony of housework, carefully conforming to expectation while avoiding boredom. Does she like kale, carrots, endives? Did we eat this already, yesterday? How can I make it fit his diet? What is available at this time of year? What is left over from yesterday? | ||

- | Peel, chop, slice, cover, boil, drain, mash, season, serve. | + | Transforming the act of cooking into a recipe requires digitization, making physical gestures discrete from the continuous. The assumed reproducibility of such an instructive text relies on a reference system of pre-defined processes, moulded into predictable grammar and self-explanatory structures. |
- | They might share many more imagined similarities, but it is the piling up of rhythms that define the practice of cooking as much as coding. Both rely on mixing familiar gestures with unfamiliar ones, where some forms of repetition are more redundant than others. | + | //Peel, chop, wash, slice, place, add, cover, boil, simmer, drain, mash, season, serve.// |
