The Evolution Of Gastronomy.
Reflect on the past, explore the present, and envision the future of gastronomy. Understand gastronomy’s evolutionary path that led us to where we are today.
Roots of Modernism always tries to approach uncharted territory in an authentic way. We reject the paths previously explored and instead forge our own.
We strive to maintain our belief that knowledge isn’t a static state, but is a constant discovery and reinvention of changing ideas and beliefs.
Nevertheless, the concept of extrapolation saved us. The idea of fabricating our private understanding. Built by history, our own beliefs, and a push that acknowledges gastronomy as a force heading towards a place that opposes what we’ve labeled as orthodox.
Gastronomy had uncertain beginnings. Fire, kindling, hot water, and some kind of vessel. Roots of Modernism acknowledges gastronomy’s ancient origin story while taking new additions into consideration: modern technology, mixing cultures, and food accessibility.
We want to engage with this multiplicity of cores and showcase the approach we’re assembling, displaying stuff we’ve discovered that might take us to a point where we’re unsure of how to respond, to the uncertain. Realizing the importance of rejecting structures that keep us docile and embracing the ones that constitute the idea of generating a more compounded self.
Our goal is to engage with the increasing intersectionality of gastronomy. Here at Roots of Modernism, we publish everything from scientific articles to thought pieces that explore the ambiguous. We reject oversimplified explanations and instead aim to delve deep into gastronomy’s complex nature.
