The Market Notebook

Documenting the everyday food culture of a destination.
At a Glance

- Create a recipe memory
Markets reveal what people actually eat, what is in season, which flowers are available, how people greet one another, and what smells fill the morning air.
Rather than shopping quickly, observe first.
Record
Seasonal fruit, cheeses, bread, flowers, colours, packaging, your favourite stall, one conversation, and one ingredient you want to cook with at home.
Create a Recipe Memory
Instead of buying many products, choose one recipe inspired by the market.
When you make it at home months later, the city quietly returns.
