Sous Chef - A identity of food culture
Food and identity are deeply connected, varying across individuals and communities based on culture, history, class, and personal experiences. Traditions, family recipes, and migration shape food habits, while commercialization, media, and technology influence modern consumption. Social structures, accessibility, and ethics—such as food security, sustainability, and cultural appropriation—play key roles in defining food-related identities. Emotions, nostalgia, and personal preferences further shape how people interact with food, making it a dynamic and evolving aspect of identity.
Players take on the role of a chef in a world where certain flavours are outlawed due to political, historical, or health reasons. Over time, flavours disappear, and players must find creative ways to recreate them before they are lost forever. The game reflects real-world bans on ingredients, colonial erasure of cuisines, and how food regulations reshape taste.
