# Data Cuisine _Data, yummy data_ Published: 2012-01-01 Live project: Have you ever tried to imagine how a fish soup tastes whose recipe is based on publicly available local fishing data? Or what a pizza would be like if it was based on Helsinki’s population mix? Data Cuisine explores food as a means of data expression - or, if you like – edible diagrams. ## Key visuals - Workshop participants studying an edible data diagram of colored blobs on a black slate plate - Fried dessert on a black plate beside a powdered-sugar atom symbol, an edible data dish - Data Cuisine participants cooking together in a kitchen with a big pot and fresh ingredients - Brainstorming wall of sticky notes naming data topics like crime rate and life expectancy, with a Data Cuisine poster - Close-up of a plated fish dish garnished with herbs and diced chili, a data-based recipe - Marker sketch on graph paper of a red drink and a teal wavy dish, early edible data concepts - Workshop group and a chef preparing dishes around a busy kitchen counter - Participants and a chef shaping colored edible material at a worktable during the workshop - Hands arranging pink and blue edible strands on slate, forming an edible data diagram - Group examining colorful edible data dishes plated on black slates during a tasting - Participants sampling a spread of data-based dishes across a long table Together with Susanne Jaschko from [prozessagenten](http:/prozessagenten.org), I explore how we can use food for information expression.
