After the Milan presentation, we talked to Fiona and Mark about our ideas and moving the project forward. Encorporating the dandelion into our festival makes sense and we discussed ways to use it in food, drink, cocktails etc. After seeing the incorporation of food into Malan 2014 I think this could be really fun and fresh. It wil also emphasise our themes of changing perceptions.
Ideas so far:
-Pesto
-Salad
-Jelly
-Tea
-Dandelion and burdock cocktail
-Soup
-Smoothie
-Sauce
We could serve canepes at the exhibition which I think would be really fun and spark conversation.
We could also make recipe card for people to take home, prolonging the festival experience.
It might be worth researching foraging and uses for other wild plants.
Anie and I had a really good chat with Fiona and Mark about trends. Companies pay a lot of money to go to trend conferences dilivered by forecasters, and essentially it's just a sales pitch. Although I loved the topics Sally Denton discussed in her lecture, phrases like 'Global.isation' and 'Create.Consume' are nothing new. The way she talked about them was as if they were her inventions. So I am going to bear in mind current trends, but not take as gospel.
