HTBMFF (How Tteokbokki Became My Favourite Food) is an ethnographic project by three international design students living in the Netherlands. This work delves into themes of migratory culture and identity preservation, capturing these ideas through the lens of Korean cooking. The project has culminated in a cookbook that views the kitchen as a space for exploration and resilience, with each recipe offering a practical way to integrate cultural identity into a new environment.
For these designers, cooking is more than a means of cultural preservation—it serves as a conversation starter around complex social issues present in international hubs like Eindhoven. Through this project, they aim to bridge the gap between design and the wider community, showcasing how the kitchen can be a powerful tool for design thinking and innovation.
Join us for the launch, where we’ll not only discuss the project but also share a taste of Korean cuisine. Looking forward to seeing you there!
