Food Pantones

Belonging to a diasporic community in several countries, I have noticed the changed in our national cuisine. Food pantone is a project which talks about the “authentic” creation of food outside of its native land. Substituting ingredients, improvising recipes due to the unavailability of some ingredients, creates altered versions of a traditional dish, e.t.c Mantu, Palao, Burani
As a project, Food Pantones compares food not by taste but by colours—drawing visual similarities between a dish cooked in the place of origin versus the same food cooked by the diasporic community outside the place of origin.
