MPhil Programme in Development Practice

Centre for Development Practice (www.cdp.res.in) in collaboration with the School of Vocational Studiesis setting up a pop up kitchen on Friday, November 15, 2019 to put to display food from Jharkhand, Odisha and Chattisgarh. The food on display has been cooked from food grains and vegetables grown in these three states with indigenous seeds and indigenous know-how; fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides have not been used. This is largely an initiative of the CDP Fellows in Action Researchand Research Associates and the students of BVoc Tourism and Hospitality. The effort is born out of a response to the process of the gradual loss of difference in food cultures. The attempt, in this pop up kitchen, is to one, bring the consumer and producer closer by informing the former about the latter and the processes the latter deploys; two, to carry the diverse menu of rural local food to the urban globalised dining culture. This pop up kitchen also aims to bring recipes from the (rural) producer’s world to AUD so as to represent, in however limited a form, the hidden diversity of food cultures in our country such that it not only reduces the producer-consumer gap but also pays attention towards how our food habits are increasingly becoming inclined towards the “polished” (‘white rice’ for example) than what is “nutritional”. However, the whole effort is not limited to the pursuit of knowing about local food cultures but about the experience of cooking such food and getting a taste of the diverse food cultures of rural central India. We invite you to visit our pop up kitchen unit between 12 noon and 2 pm (beside Cafeteria, Ambedkar University Delhi, Karampura Campus); a rather diverse menu from Jharkhand, Odisha and Chattisgarh shall be on display for all of us as perhaps a welcome break.
Kindly join us for lunch.
