Chicken Confidential: an anti-cookbook for butter chicken
A participatory publishing project that uses butter chicken to explore food, migration, diaspora, and the stories people attach to a dish.
- For
- Readers of food, diaspora, and experimental publishing
- Worth noticing
- The site pairs a letter-writing invitation with four listed games, including a daily three-claim Fact or Friction game.
Field notes
The page organizes the proposed book as a case file, with chapters described across genres including romance, engineering, conspiracy investigation, and diaspora scrapbook. It lists four playable pieces: a five-ending choose-your-own adventure, a daily three-claim Fact or Friction game, Naan Slap, and Pantandoori Camera. The 17-recipe promise is undercut by a “0 delivered” banner, though the text also describes 17 chefs' versions and recipes hidden in love scenes.
