This season examined the existence and creation of current culinary systems and their significance both culturally and commercially. As we contemplate what we want from a new culinary system we will examine how change can be enacted. The ingredient for the inaugural season of Sourced will be origin. In our tutorials we look to discuss the season’s topic in a broad and thoughtful way, to address issues in research, give context, try and be self-critical as well as sharing what knowledge we have and are gaining.
