On Saturday, the two do-it-yourself kitchens were very busy with brave cooks who challenged the surprise menu. On one side, Benedetta was achieving a solo cooking performance for five people, while on the other side; all six male cooks were helping out. The one who had to clean the dishes even played his “Cendrillon” (Cinderella; en français dans le texte) role with professional resignation. Since the two kitchens had to share a few ingredients, the local guys had to practise their English and Spanish; and Benedetta had to communicate with sign language with who happened to be the human book she had borrowed earlier on! I think I am going to keep a few cooking spices to be used by both kitchens at the same time: it helps creating surprising connections.

 Thanks to Benedetta and Antonio – the conceivers of the Kitchain project – and their friends to have come to try the surprise menu!
