Home cooking
Indonesia
72 dishes, kept by 3 cooks who put their own weeknights on the shelf.
The Indonesia shelf
What Indonesia cooks when it is cooking for itself.
One catalog, seen from one kitchen. The shelf opens on what households here cooked this week and closes on what gets made in twenty minutes, because that is what a weeknight actually looks like.

Plan a week from Indonesia
Dinejot builds the week around this kitchen: the same spice tolerance, the same effort on a Wednesday, and the things nobody at your table will eat, left out by construction.
