An auntie narrates: “Long, long time ago, before jellies were food, they were friends. And my goodness, they tasted good.” This work revisits old collage-style recipes for cooking jellies: strange, whimsical instructions that are now almost impossible to decipher. It gestures toward food traditions across Asia, where a vast range of ingredients and creatures have historically found their way into recipes, blurring the line between nourishment, curiosity, and the surreal.
