Leonie Anholts wanted to explore the social element of preparing and eating food with her graduation project for the Academie Artemis, titled 'The Anatomy of a Recipe.'

The project is conceived as a game of dominoes, in which each domino corresponds to a recipe. Therefore, playing the game is not only a fun family bonding activity, but also an ingenious way to figure out what to have for dinner. The first person to use all of their tiles will decide which recipe will make it onto the table.

With our busy and demanding lifestyles, it's hard to find the time to gather around the table. This game is intended to bring the social element to dining back into our lives.
