FoodLab

FoodLab at the UnBox Festival 2012 aims at creating voyages that challenge the way one experiences and consumes food. FoodLab aims to curate a special social space, which inspires ideas of discovery and exploration to the act of consuming and thinking about food. FoodLab will bring culinary trendsetters like Gresham Fernandes (Smokehouse Grill/India), Mia Morikawa (Japan), Constance Marx (France), Arijit Bose (Mixologist/India) and Smita Singh (Elma's/ India) to direct a gastronomical social experiment. -

At UnBox 2012,FoodLab will be involved in curating some distinct experiences

•Food for Thought will extend over the two main conference days of the festival. To make the UnBox conference lunches as authentic an experience as possible, we have unearthed places from Delhi, whose legacy of rustic regional Indian food has made them icons, in-spite of their humble origins. What could be better than an array of thinkers bonding over home-style, traditional food ?!

•The Food Labyrinth is a modern day ritual feast at the Max Mueller Bhawan, created primarily with repurposed materials found in Delhi. A playground of whimsical gastronomic adventures, the food labyrinth is all about using off-beat methods to experience food in a multi-sensorial environment. Chemistry and Mixology fuses at the Absolut Liquid Lab, to create new forms of consumption and tasting that aims to intrigue and engage; Local treasures from the ever bustling Old Delhi street markets share space with an assemblage of fresh organic produce; and inventive live cooking stations where invited dreamers-meet-cooks whip up recipes both traditional and modern, telling guests stories about their genesis and evolution. The space will also have an audio-visual installation co-curated with the electronic music duo - B.L.O.T. screening food diaries - video stories on food and eating from all over the world.
