"Secrets from the Greek Kitchen" explores how cooking skills,
practices, and knowledge on the island of Kalymnos are reinforced
or transformed by contemporary events. Based on more than twenty
years of research and the author's videos of everyday cooking
techniques, this rich ethnography treats the kitchen as an
environment in which people pursue tasks, display expertise, and
confront culturally defined risks.
Kalymnian islanders, both women and men, use food as a way of
evoking personal and collective memory, creating an elaborate
discourse on ingredients, tastes, and recipes. Author David E.
Sutton focuses on micropractices in the kitchen, such as the
cutting of onions, the use of a can opener, and the rolling of
phyllo dough, along with cultural changes, such as the rise of
televised cooking shows, to reveal new perspectives on the
anthropology of everyday living.
