This illustrated book reimagines the conventional cookbook format by providing written instructions on crafting something unique. However, rather than traditional ingredients, the recipes in this book utilize discarded items, objects, or phenomena typically unrelated to cooking. Just as children might joyfully create “cakes” from mud, this book broadens the notion of ‘edible’ to encompass all that is ‘inedible’ yet brimming with creative potential. By curating specific content and ingredients, the book delves into themes of ecology, recycling, reusability, and giving new purpose to discarded and unusable items. Featuring nine recipes presented in poetic fragments, it can be simultaneously interpreted as performance tasks or imaginative prompts for both children and adults. The book’s expansive format underscores the contemporary significance of recycling and marks a return from the digital to the tangible realm.
