During my journey through Japan I noticed some interesting preservation behaviours.So, next to my “main project” (which you can find here), I decided to engage with these tiny observations and ideas. This “bonus project” became Futa (translated from Japanese: lid). These are the 3 things I noticed:&nbsp;1. The absence of leftover stacking While travelling through Japan, I noticed that most people use clingfilm to cover their leftovers, before putting them in the fridge. In my home, the leftovers are instead stored in a ceramic bowl with an ill-fitting plate balancing on top. Sometimes these constructions are even balanced on top of each other, which creates a landscape of ceramic buildings inside the fridge. This always seemed normal to me, but while I explored many Japanese kitchens throughout the year, I never encountered this art of stacking ceramic dishes filled with leftovers. A shame, I thought. Although there is a risk of collapse, using existing dishes instead of a plastic foil is an easy way to reduce single-use plastic. (Sadly enough, single-use plastic seem to be covering almost everything here) 2. Bento behaviour Japan is a true Bento country. Translated, the word “Bento” means lunch. And the Japanese residents have certainly mastered the art of bento. Lunchboxes with different compartments for different side dishes are stacked on top of each other, with an elastic band holding everything together. Soup-bento-boxes with thick thermowalls and waterproof lids are also not uncommon. Most bento boxes are carried around in a special bento-box-bag (complete with cute print). But, most bento boxes contain plastic... During my artist residency in Ureshino, I often went to the park to eat my bento on the grass. While eating from my plastic lunchbox, I dreamed of a picnic with ceramic dishes, displaying many different side dishes. Isn’t it strange to eat my lunch from a metal or plastic box, as a ceramist? Is there a way to bring my favourite ceramics with me on my travels, and enjoy them on the road? 3. Piles of overproductionDuring my daily walks through Yoshida (the little ceramic town), I often encountered piles of old ceramic plates, cups, teapots and bowls. The idea that I was designing new products while the products that were produced here were in (over)abundance. I felt a resistance to produce more of the same. More bowls, more plates, more cups. Instead, I thought, I want to make something that shines a light on the products that already exist or that another local ceramist creates. I want to make something in collaboration with local craftsmen and the piles on the streets. How? With these observations dancing through my mind, I started making. Since my “main project” was all about making plates, I decided to stick to the theme and started to design plates. But instead of slipcasting the designs, I wanted to learn a new skill: throwing plates by hand on a clay throwing wheel. I ended up with many strange hand thrown plates that can function also as a lid when you want to store leftovers in the fridge. The lids fit on multiple sizes of bowls, and can be tied together by a rope. You can stack multiple dishes on top of each other and bring them out for a nice ceramic picnic. The plates are a simple matt-white, so all the attention goes to the used bowl. In my dreams I want to sell these white plates as a set together with an existing bowl or in collaboration with another local craftsman. <img width="1968" height="2185" width_o="1968" height_o="2185"

ある蓋(卒業制作をご覧ください)へと何度も戻っていきました。日本を旅する中で、興味深い保 存習慣をいくつか目にしました。 そこで、メインプロジェクト(こちらをご覧ください)の傍ら、これらの小さな観察やアイデアを形にす ることにしました。この「ボーナスプロジェクト」が「フタ」です。 私が気づいた3つの点は以下の通りです。 1. 残り物を積み重ねない 日本を旅する中で、ほとんどの人が残り物をラップで包んでから冷蔵庫に入れていること に気づきました。私の家では、残り物は陶器のボウルに入れ、その上に少し小さめの皿 を乗せて保存しています。時には、これらの器を積み重ねて、冷蔵庫の中に陶器の建物 が並ぶ風景を作り出していることもあります。私にとってはごく当たり前のことのように思 えましたが、この一年を通して多くの日本のキッチンを訪れたにもかかわらず、残り物を 詰めた陶器の皿を重ねるというこの習慣には一度も出会ったことがありませんでした。残 念だと思いました。崩れる危険性はあるものの、プラスチックのホイルの代わりに既存の 皿を使うのは、使い捨てプラスチックを減らす簡単な方法です。(悲しいことに、日本では 使い捨てプラスチックがほとんどあらゆるものを覆っているようです。) 2. 弁当の習慣 日本はまさに弁当の国です。「弁当」とは文字通り「ランチ」を意味します。そして、日本人 は弁当作りの達人と言えるでしょう。様々なおかずを入れるための仕切りが付いた弁当 箱を、ゴムバンドで留めて重ねていきます。厚手の断熱材と防水蓋が付いたスープ弁当 箱も珍しくありません。ほとんどの弁当箱は、かわいい柄の入った専用の弁当箱バッグに 入れて持ち運ばれます。しかし、ほとんどの弁当箱はプラスチック製です...。嬉野での アーティスト・イン・レジデンス期間中、私はよく公園の芝生で弁当を食べていました。プラ スチックの弁当箱で食事をしながら、陶器の器に様々な副菜を盛り付けたピクニックを夢 見ていました。陶芸家である私が、金属やプラスチックの容器で昼食を食べるのは、どこ かおかしいと思いませんか?旅先でもお気に入りの陶器を携えて、旅先で楽しむ方法は ないのでしょうか? 3. 過剰生産の山 吉田(小さな陶芸の町)を毎日散歩していると、古い陶器の皿、カップ、急須、茶碗の山を よく見かけました。ここで生産されている製品が(過剰に)溢れているのに、私は新しい製 品をデザインしている。そんな状況に、私は抵抗を感じました。同じものをさらに生産する ことに、抵抗感を覚えたのです。もっと茶碗を、もっと皿を、もっとカップを。そうではなく、 既に存在する製品や、他の地元の陶芸家が作った製品に光を当てるようなものを作りた いと思いました。地元の職人たちや、道端に積み上げられた廃材を使って何かを作りた い。どうやって? そんな思いが頭の中を駆け巡り、制作に取り掛かりました。「メインプロジェクト」は皿作りだった ので、そのテーマに沿って皿のデザインを始めました。しかし、型取りではなく、新しい技術を習 得したいと思い、ろくろを使って人の手で皿を作ることにしました。 出来上がったのは、冷蔵庫で残り物を保存する際の蓋としても使える、ちょっと変わった手作りの 皿です。蓋は様々なサイズのボウルに合うように作られており、紐で繋げることもできます。複数 の皿を重ねて、素敵な陶器のピクニックに持っていくこともできます。皿はシンプルなマットホワイ トなので、ボウルが主役になります。 夢としては、これらの白い皿を既存のボウルとセットで、あるいは他の地元の職人とコラボレー ションして販売したいと思っています。 興味のある方はいらっしゃいますか?

皿の上の命の痕跡My work as artist in residency at&nbsp;224 Procelain. 以下に、この文章の日本語訳を掲載しています。 The delicately hand painted plants that cover the plate’s surfaces, make for a seemingly simple an elegent design.&nbsp; Yet, if you look closer, you might discover that the cobalt plants grow and feed on an earlier life. The reflextion of light uncovers the traces hidden beneath the flourishing illustrations.&nbsp;This layered design is an collaboration between the traditional technique of handpainting a cobalt blue illustration on top of a digitally shaped and carved plate. The combination of machine work an hand work makes this hidden illusion possible. In the spring of 2024 (april &amp; may), I was invited to work at 224 porcelain as an artist in residency. The bosses of 224 porcelain are working hard to keep the ceramic village called Yoshida on the map. As the owners of the ceramic studio’s there are growing old, more and more kilns dissapear and the tradition is threatend to get extinct. 224 porcelain uses hyper modern machines to keep Yoshida’s ceramic history relevant. With the residency program, they hope to attract young artists and craftsmen. I was one of the first artists to join the program (as an experiment). My time at 224 porcelain was magical and I hope more young artists will fall in love with the little ceramic town in Saga, Japan.&nbsp; I worked on a second project during my residency.

Or ‘mieso’ as the dutch ancesters would have written it. It is a (thought) experiment around a new history. In this new (counterfactual) history, miso is already well known and embraced in the Netherlands for well over 400 years. And it plays an important role in traditional Dutch recipes. With as result: an ancient design for a traditional dutch mieso pot and homemade miso from Faba beans (grown at a farm called Veldzicht in Zeeland, NL). But what is Miso or Mieso?Miso is a fermented beanpaste that has its origin in Japan (where misosoup is a common meal). It is made from soybeans, salt and Koji. However, sadly enough, miso isn’s very known in the Netherlands. The traditional Japanese cuisine used to exist (400 years ago) marely out of plants and sometimes fish (yes, a long time ago, Japanese food was mostly vegan). The Dutch cuisine, on the other hand, is what I call: cow driven (packed with meat and dairy). While leafing through the ‘National Cookbook for the Dutch Housewifes’, I found a list of most important ingredients for the Dutch cuisine. The following ingredients were listed:&nbsp; 1. Milk&nbsp; 2. Butter 3. Cheese .... and so on... You can image that animal based products are the foundation of the traditional Dutch Cuisine.&nbsp; However, a plantbased diet seems to become more and more a part of a sustainable future. And this proteïn transition isn’t easy for a country that basicly runns on animal proteïns. But what if we took our change, 400 years ago, and learned from the Japanese cuisine? What if we had embraced miso (packed with plantbased umami) back then? Would it have influenced the cheese indutry (full of animal based umami)? The Netherlands has after all, already a trade relationship with Japan for 400 years (we even introduced the milkcow in Japan..). Eventhough miso made it into the trading ships in 1652 (found in letters from that time), it never made it to the Dutch kitchen. &nbsp; But imagine, what if it did? Liever een Nederlandse uitleg?

Curious? &nbsp; Click here!&nbsp; https://milybogaarts.nl/900-mini-miesopots Tue, 18 Nov 2025 09:52:51 +0000 Mily Bogaarts https://milybogaarts.nl/900-mini-miesopots 900 Mini Miesopots for Buro Miso&nbsp;A project together with Arne Hendriks&nbsp; In the beginning of 2023 I got the assigment from Arne Hendriks to design &amp; produce as many mini miesopots as possible (for the Dutch Design Week that October). At that time, I didn’t have a ceramic studio &amp; experience in large scale production, but with a lot of help of a team (existing of friens and family) I managed to produce 900 mini miesopots on time! All pots are unique and have fitting lid. Arne Hendriks gives away these pots to people he has interesting conversations with during lectures, presentations, exhibitions or meetings. You want to be part of Buro Miso? Join one of the events with Arne Hendriks and you might just earn one of the 900.&nbsp; What are Miesopots?&nbsp; This project is all about traditional Dutch miso. Or ‘mieso’ as the dutch ancesters would have written it. It is a (thought) experiment around a new history. In this new (counterfactual) history, miso is already well known and embraced in the Netherlands for well over 400 years. And it plays an important role in traditional Dutch recipes. With as result: an ancient design for a traditional dutch mieso pot and homemade miso from Faba beans (grown at a farm called Veldzicht in Zeeland, NL). Want to know more? I give a longer explanation (inclusief Nederlandse video) on another page on this webiste.

No? That is not so strange. We have bigger and more important things to do, right? With climate change seemingly approaching a peak, the solution seems to lay in conserving the “wild” and far away corners of the nature world. In the disappearing jungles, oceans full of plastic, and dying soil. Yet at the same time, in the human world, we do everything to protect ourselves from the unexpected and wild. Kitchens have never been so clean, food never so indestructible. Fear of molds and bacteria caused by lack of knowledge. Plastic packaging is taking over the supermarket filled with perfect vegetables. Our kitchens are specialized in keeping us safe from anything wild, while we struggle to keep the wild safe from us. Protecting seems to be the motto of this human focused century. Keep, save, preserve, conserve.However, more and more people seem to discover that this attitude of “keeping safe” is the first problem to solve on our way toward a more sustainable future. So, let’s go on safari in our own kitchens! Lower your eye level to just above the kitchen counter in search for something wild. The Fermentation Experimentation StationAt the Fermentation Station, we were researching the art of fermentation. Fermentation is one of the ancient ways of keeping, that embraces wild bacteria and yeasts instead of killing them off. And therefore is a way of keeping with a future. Among others, Jip Roelmaat, Marika Groen, and Tessa Straver worked there on bubbly, smelly but tasty things! And I was there to talk and learn about it too. &nbsp; <img width="1440" height="1800" width_o="1440" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ccb1c4c526e7ccfe5d64497c8950423080d5b0eace2a532526cf5f78332a7b8c/76D53867-EC8A-418B-B070-6A1BE1BB4877.JPG" data-mid="166768323" border="0" data-scale="84" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ccb1c4c526e7ccfe5d64497c8950423080d5b0eace2a532526cf5f78332a7b8c/76D53867-EC8A-418B-B070-6A1BE1BB4877.JPG" /> <img width="2848" height="4288" width_o="2848" height_o="4288" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6bf36ff3868456b4d3530226d1a15a00b6be1949ee14a8be6299002f77ff754c/DSC_0888.jpg" data-mid="166796673" border="0" alt="Photo by Marika Groen" data-caption="Photo by Marika Groen" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6bf36ff3868456b4d3530226d1a15a00b6be1949ee14a8be6299002f77ff754c/DSC_0888.jpg" /> <img width="2846" height="4283" width_o="2846" height_o="4283" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31b0122fdfd798ec94bc819e778aefed467c85bd38696b6788a7ccf5f875e2d1/DSC_0891.jpg" data-mid="166796708" border="0" alt="Photo by Marika Groen" data-caption="Photo by Marika Groen" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/31b0122fdfd798ec94bc819e778aefed467c85bd38696b6788a7ccf5f875e2d1/DSC_0891.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/adafebac81f4e1c1c043335b5cc9be402d03535c0ed750c15ec8bfb9cc75d6ab/IMG_9460.JPG" data-mid="166763958" border="0" data-scale="86" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/adafebac81f4e1c1c043335b5cc9be402d03535c0ed750c15ec8bfb9cc75d6ab/IMG_9460.JPG" /> <img width="2848" height="4288" width_o="2848" height_o="4288" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9c0c991cacd6aadc56ec61cd004e0aab12221240d3ce2a7e01ec1653cdfebcc2/DSC_0897.jpg" data-mid="166796817" border="0" alt="Photo by Marika Groen" data-caption="Photo by Marika Groen" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9c0c991cacd6aadc56ec61cd004e0aab12221240d3ce2a7e01ec1653cdfebcc2/DSC_0897.jpg" /> <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6dd2ddca6a0ad43decd8dc45555bdfd39c1694f6af38eecd33c01b64883c308a/PHOTO-2022-10-27-08-48-47.jpg" data-mid="166799951" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6dd2ddca6a0ad43decd8dc45555bdfd39c1694f6af38eecd33c01b64883c308a/PHOTO-2022-10-27-08-48-47.jpg" /> <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/59408b15fbe9d3750bb5eda913a31ff077f0fb7f53d793a3f72c2fded4f8aa5c/PHOTO-2022-10-25-19-36-19.jpg" data-mid="166799518" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/59408b15fbe9d3750bb5eda913a31ff077f0fb7f53d793a3f72c2fded4f8aa5c/PHOTO-2022-10-25-19-36-19.jpg" /> <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b218dacf09b4279fd9c027d804428625d4e9116b85d0f4981c9af8097e8caa1/PHOTO-2022-10-27-08-48-14.jpg" data-mid="166800274" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b218dacf09b4279fd9c027d804428625d4e9116b85d0f4981c9af8097e8caa1/PHOTO-2022-10-27-08-48-14.jpg" /> <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa46f13e000d0fadf37a0ccdbdc3406b22a7b68283bf0a9a643c15e1444d9dc7/PHOTO-2022-10-25-19-36-15.jpg" data-mid="166800531" border="0" data-scale="86" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa46f13e000d0fadf37a0ccdbdc3406b22a7b68283bf0a9a643c15e1444d9dc7/PHOTO-2022-10-25-19-36-15.jpg" /> <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31a77b3d85f3da59c424aa79ed39f7eb261e31dd6d482569968e083bfebd6bbe/PHOTO-2022-10-25-19-37-08.jpg" data-mid="166801081" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/31a77b3d85f3da59c424aa79ed39f7eb261e31dd6d482569968e083bfebd6bbe/PHOTO-2022-10-25-19-37-08.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1600" width_o="1200" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/08568c0a96fbbcdf6fd4ab122dec3b6aad3b2139fb2986e4711ef81744bd1385/PHOTO-2022-10-29-11-56-12.jpg" data-mid="166799185" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/08568c0a96fbbcdf6fd4ab122dec3b6aad3b2139fb2986e4711ef81744bd1385/PHOTO-2022-10-29-11-56-12.jpg" /> &nbsp;

adventures &amp; stories of my year travelling through Japan.&nbsp; On 24th of july 2023, I drew a map of Japan on the first page of my handmade journal. The red dots marked the destinations that I had in mind. Starting with the stay at the parents of a great friend of mine, in the north-western part of Japan. But that would&nbsp; just a pitstop before the "real" journey, that I had drawn carefully on this pencil drawing of Japan. During the course of 1 year, the notebook grew alongside me until it had the size and weight of a brick. It carries many of my worries, idea's, victories and doubts. The illustrations, photo's and to do lists describe Japan through my (often confused) eyes. This notebook has travelled from a island in the very south of Japan (Yakushima), to the very North (Hokkaido). It has seen farmland, ancient forrests, 1 person restaurant tables, igloo's, ceramic workspaces, Temples and a red wooden castle. The books became a tool to meet new friends. Those were the people who told me to publish my brick. So, here I am, currently working to edit and maybe someday publish the illustrated book that guided me through Japan. &nbsp; (This is an ongoing project &amp; I am unsure if and when I might publish the book. If you want to see more of my journey, my instagram page holds the most visual information. You can find my instagram at the bottom of this page.) &nbsp; <img width="1045" height="1567" width_o="1045" height_o="1567"

Introduction: Have you ever gone on safari in your own kitchen? No? That is not so strange. We have bigger and more important things to do, right? With climate change seemingly approaching a peak, the solution seems to lay in conserving the “wild” and far away corners of the nature world. In the disappearing jungles, oceans full of plastic, and dying soil. Yet at the same time, in the human world, we do everything to protect ourselves from the unexpected and wild. Kitchens have never been so clean, food never so indestructible. Fear of molds and bacteria caused by lack of knowledge. Plastic packaging is taking over the supermarket filled with perfect vegetables. Our kitchens are specialized in keeping us safe from anything wild, while we struggle to keep the wild safe from us. Protecting seems to be the motto of this human focused century. Keep, save, preserve, conserve.However, more and more people seem to discover that this attitude of “keeping safe” is the first problem to solve on our way toward a more sustainable future. So, let’s go on safari in our own kitchens! Lower your eye level to just above the kitchen counter in search for something wild. The Collection: I went on a kitchen safari at the beginning of last year. And it was right there, that I found the most dull and mundane object you can possibly imagine: a lid. Only to discover that this lid would give me some unexpecting insights into food preservation and our attitude towards nature. The insights and stories I found have been developed into four preserving products that show a different part of the future kitchen as I imagine it would be. Not too clean and not too safe. Each product is bound to a specific preserving method and reveals a little bit of what’s beyond the lid. enjoy! <img width="3650" height="5577" width_o="3650" height_o="5577" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d92817d80a83c180bd12587ba2c3c924d32f23c43de87ffb568bd2899955cd9/MilyBogaarts_Beyondthelid_2022_02.jpg" data-mid="166771421" border="0" data-scale="81" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d92817d80a83c180bd12587ba2c3c924d32f23c43de87ffb568bd2899955cd9/MilyBogaarts_Beyondthelid_2022_02.jpg" /> <img width="3876" height="5856" width_o="3876" height_o="5856" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/60407d3e6233b27904b536f792f1cf805fc981e2718ef1372f1fc8d36f5fb8e9/MilyBogaarts_Beyondthelid_2022_04.jpg" data-mid="166771493" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/60407d3e6233b27904b536f792f1cf805fc981e2718ef1372f1fc8d36f5fb8e9/MilyBogaarts_Beyondthelid_2022_04.jpg" /> <img width="3932" height="5907" width_o="3932" height_o="5907" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1bc05ef268b20876716dac7da7c15fa622c18af0a4ec675374995af91064aaa2/MilyBogaarts_Beyondthelid_2022_05.jpg" data-mid="166771495" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1bc05ef268b20876716dac7da7c15fa622c18af0a4ec675374995af91064aaa2/MilyBogaarts_Beyondthelid_2022_05.jpg" /> <img width="3730" height="5800" width_o="3730" height_o="5800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2635ff2ee98b7fdf7c0e04b8c762bff2cfeb2be6dd1329856d856a3836c3ae9a/MilyBogaarts_Beyondthelid_2022_01.jpg" data-mid="166771512" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2635ff2ee98b7fdf7c0e04b8c762bff2cfeb2be6dd1329856d856a3836c3ae9a/MilyBogaarts_Beyondthelid_2022_01.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img width="1275" height="1589" width_o="1275" height_o="1589" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/46aed8743081b14e8e4b49aa579c1e008a360794422a3a8a4c45b9d83bc2d0e4/116050F8-59D2-4943-92AA-5EB61EBAAA5D.JPG" data-mid="166820533" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/46aed8743081b14e8e4b49aa579c1e008a360794422a3a8a4c45b9d83bc2d0e4/116050F8-59D2-4943-92AA-5EB61EBAAA5D.JPG" /> Table of Contents: This project exists out of 4 chapters and a essay.

Stories as old as time only get preserved in the ground. Hidden artifacts buried un- intentionally tell stories that are lost in remembrance. As archeologists carefully recreate and interpretate the old traditions and behaviors from thousands of years ago by things they find hidden away. Once upon a time, sand was one of the natural mediums that was both most accessible as well as very usefull for preserving, especially for root vegetables. People re-buried roots like carrots to protect them from oxygen and light.1 Sand not only keeps the level of humity just right, it also prevents the veggies from touching, which often ends in rot. Sand of course, only works best for vegetables that grew or ripened in the ground, as it is (or at least should be) logical and preferable that not all vegetables are preserved the same way.2 However, at my student house, at the second floor, the fridge is the chosen hiding spot for most foods. The (somehow chosen to be) white box was introduced in the home around 1913 in America, Indiana. And since then, never left the house. The convenience of such conservation space meant the end of active thinking and engagement with the bought foods. As soon as the food enters the fridge it exits the mind.2&nbsp;It enabled people to purchase things from the supermarket in bulk (often with an expiration reminder printed on top) and bury it in the fridge for later discovery. As we became less depended on our own knowledge of expiration and preservation, we became more depended on technology. This blind trust in the fridge especially leads to fruits and vegetables suffering and losing its taste and flavours. How before, our great great great great ancestors observed and knew that root vegetables keep their flavour better when put back in the sand, the current generations often don’t even own a place to bury in, (if you don’t count the fridge). And it is hard to remember the importance of ground and soil without sand under your fingernails. With wealth, fridges are getting bigger. That does not only mean we have to dig and dive deeper for our food. The food also disappears more easily. To be discovered later, often covered in some green fluff. The moldy cheese acting as a (un)welcome reminder that&nbsp;expiration very much belongs to the story of keeping, and burying. Burying’s darker side is closer to our food than we like to believe it. As we, of course, do not only bury everything with the intention of seeing it again. Burying can mark the end and closure of a life lived. It can mean farewell. However, how we deal with the deceased doesn’t seem to be too far away from the development of the lid. “The Egyptian word for preserving fish by salting and drying was&nbsp;the same as that used to denote the process of embalming mummies. Indeed, every one of&nbsp;these ancient traditions for preserving humans and animals for the afterlife finds a parallel&nbsp;of food preservation [...]”.3 Sources: Walter, Hans.

From potatoes to carrots and beets, everything that comes out of the ground is best preserved in the ground. The Sand Fridge consists out of two big bowls, that keep the root veggies cold and dry and your fingers&nbsp;dirty. <img width="7677" height="7304" width_o="7677" height_o="7304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7bfe6b82c2a266b81633c96b090cd01e71a4fe711e1eb687cc037215ebfe123a/Dig-and-discover.jpg" data-mid="172025773" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7bfe6b82c2a266b81633c96b090cd01e71a4fe711e1eb687cc037215ebfe123a/Dig-and-discover.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/af31f54087ff07362000685ad69e3aec2b333caf3798025e3fffac5dbee9c6d8/IMG_2871.JPG" data-mid="172056021" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/af31f54087ff07362000685ad69e3aec2b333caf3798025e3fffac5dbee9c6d8/IMG_2871.JPG" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9acd5e26840d6a2c59f094d614d1d2517b3b4ef59296f8720d96c7c71f155ee0/IMG_2630.JPG" data-mid="172056470" border="0" alt="3 week old carrots (Left: kept in Sandfridge, Middle: kept at room temp, Right: kept in normal fridge)" data-caption="3 week old carrots (Left: kept in Sandfridge, Middle: kept at room temp, Right: kept in normal fridge)" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9acd5e26840d6a2c59f094d614d1d2517b3b4ef59296f8720d96c7c71f155ee0/IMG_2630.JPG" /> https://milybogaarts.nl/The-Fermentation-Wizard-1 Fri, 17 Mar 2023 09:29:12 +0000 Mily Bogaarts https://milybogaarts.nl/The-Fermentation-Wizard-1 The Fermentation WizardChapter 2 of my graduation Project 2022&nbsp; Who can teach me the magic of fermented foods? Long long ago, wizards where women, naturally connected to anything living or growing. Fermentation once was a women’s craft, and the same was true for medicine, since both go hand in hand. I know a wizard, a fermentation wizard. Her name is Kristina Ridgley. Born in Kasachstan and raised in a world where every bit of food was energy, and waste was no option. She tells stories about the ground in Kasachstan. “It had the best soil, that is why we didn’t need much medicine, it was absorbed into the fruits and vegetables that we ate.” Her house here in the Netherlands is full of pots and drying plants, as how you image a modern wizard house would look like. Including one big pot on wheels that is hiding in the corner of her Livingroom; “I opened it too early in the season” she warned me “and now it is upset and funky, so I have to let it rest.”. Wizards are often described as people thought to possess magical powers or command supernatural forces. The wizard of this story knows how to command (or maybe work together with) natural forces that are invisible for most people. As fermentation is easily explained as controlled rot, or controlled microbiome activity (Like moldy cheese or Kimchi or Sauerkraut, but also things like coffee, chocolate and olives are fermented)1. Kristina has a deep understanding of the plants and ingredients that grow around her, and therefor also understands what it can do for you. And by fermentation, the micro-organisms pre-digest&nbsp;the food, making it easier for us to absorb the nutrients and other benefits hidden in the&nbsp;ingredients2. She believes in food as medicine, rather than pills and synthetic medication. But she is one of the few people that truly understand the magic of fermented foods, since the ancient knowledge seems to be lost for generations. In Japan women had lots of power due to their knowledge of healing. But with the arrival of magical technology and synthetic medicine, by monks which were men, this ancient knowledge of powerful food was not necessary anymore, and even undesirable.3 And the women’s job in the kitchen shrunk to a scorn breakfast and dinner preparation. Later people were able to see and analyze the invisible power that is all around us, the micro-organisms. Even though microscopes made is possible to look even closer at the food, with technology also came the disconnection with our food. As more and more ingredients turned into numbers and letters. It seemed that even though the invisible magical microbes became more and more visible, “we” still don’t seem to fully understand it’s power. However, through wizards and witches like Kristina the importance of the ancient craft is still living. And through the pandemic, the interest of medicinal foods is rising. It seems to become a battle between science and witchcrafts. Sources: Crain, Liz.

After I talked with Kristina about different types of fermentation, I decided to make vessels that fit the best to oxymelfermentation. A oxymel is a type of ferment that is half honey, half vinegar (or kambucha) and is consumed for its medicinal benefits. For this fermentation you (most of the time) need a airtight lid, preferably a lid where gasses can escape, but air can’t go in. For that I designed a glass waterlock that fits on the neck of the vessel and glass lid that fits on top of that. Little secret: The lid is also a lens so you&nbsp;can look at what you eat (or drink). <img width="7677" height="8885" width_o="7677" height_o="8885" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/272af4ea6303024c6a0e3699315c2e14316dfadbf7defd4b1e5fd97e130fde5e/The-fermentation-wizard.jpg" data-mid="172028540" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/272af4ea6303024c6a0e3699315c2e14316dfadbf7defd4b1e5fd97e130fde5e/The-fermentation-wizard.jpg" />
