A Mesolithic garden and other stories
Event for 40 people
Photographs, Philippe Tarbouriech
During the evening the participants were introduced to a mythical feast, 10,ooo years of cooking, intended to expose the evolution of the “plate”, more precisely its contents. The ingredients used were authentic to each specific era and the rest was a fanciful and poetic “mise-en-scene”.
