Recipes as Knowledge: Rethinking the Intellectual Labour of Cooking
Original: Recipes as Knowledge: An Unwritten Intellectual Labour in the Kitchen – Uthsa Sarker
Writer Uthsa Sarker has published an essay arguing that recipes constitute a form of knowledge and that cooking embodies an unwritten intellectual labour performed largely in the kitchen. The piece frames recipe-writing and everyday cooking as overlooked mental work, inviting readers to reconsider who counts as a knowledge producer and how domestic culinary expertise is valued.
Why now: The essay offers a fresh academic perspective on food and domestic labour, prompting discussion about undervalued everyday expertise.
