520 |a Cooking and architecture have a lot in common. Both start with a set of ingredients that are combined to create a whole. One that is often greater than the sum of its parts. Conceived as a publication for the exhibition at the National Pavilion United Arab Emirates at La Biennale di Venezia 2025, this architectural cookbook features recipes that range from the technical and historical to the fictional. It showcases a multitude of responses to a curated selection of key ingredients, providing creative, flavorful and accessible ways to reflect on food production in an extreme climate and its overlap with architecture. Ultimately, Pressure Cooker Recipes asks in the arid desert, where do the blueberries come from?
