Food Hacking: A Conversation with Marc Powell http://www.podtech.net/home/3597/food-hacking-a-conversation-with-marc-powell http://www.podtech.net/home/3597/food-hacking-a-conversation-with-marc-powell#comments Tue, 17 Jul 2007 07:01:11 +0000 Ryanne Hodson http://www.podtech.net/home/3597/food-hacking-a-conversation-with-marc-powell It’s not every day you get to hack your dinner with an anarchist, computer whiz, chef — unless you are one like Marc Powell. We had the pleasure of attending a Unicorn Precinct 13 Supper Club and hanging out for a bit before the cooking frenzy. Marc shares his views on cooking/eating as social networking, anarchy, everyday revolution and why good food is essential for political motivation.

A thread we’ve been noticing with a lot of the folks we’ve been interviewing has been community building through simple green actions. Cooking, composting, creating energy — all this knowledge needs to be shared and built with a support network of people. It just depends on the strategies that allow you to make time to get there.

As Marc says here, “A lot of people came out here in the dotcom days…they spent all their life, 80 hours a week, working on computers and when they got laid off, they had no support networks…but if they had spent 40 hours a week, they could have spent that extra time making a social network…maybe we all just cook together. You have to have those survival strategies and you can’t do that when you’re working…12 hours a day.”

Attending a food hacking supper club is a mind-expanding experience that teaches folks not to be afraid of experimenting with your cuisine. You can’t cook wrong if you have the right friends to help you out! During this particular five course meal, we had, among many things, the most amazing savory mushroom soup, fava bean souffle, candied bacon wrapped scallops and a citrus meringue your grandma would have been proud of. The synchronicity of friends — old and new, of food knowledge — a lot or a little, made this a unique food- and friendship-building experiences we’ve ever had. Marc fully believes that sharing knowledge through experimentation and cooking truly is revolutionary social networking. We would have to agree. Thanks Marc!
