E Buch iwwert d’Iessen op der a ronderëm d’Schmelz

Alerte Gourmande – Iessen op eege Gefor! This was the title of a culinary performance evening organised in October 2019 by DKollektiv in its Atelier D on the former Dudelange factory site.

To record the stories of those who used to work in the steel industry, the collective linked up with the recently founded FerroForum which is dedicated to preserving the iron and steel expertise of the men and women of the Terres Rouges (Red Lands).

Together the two teams concocted their “GUDDEN APPETIT” recipe book, inspired by the many different taste influences that came with the workers who moved here to feed heavy industry’s hunger for workers. The teams shuttled between the two former factories in Dudelange and Schifflange, crossing the allotments. The book explores the food eaten in the mines, factories, canteens and at celebratory occasions as well as the more or less “DIY” cooking devices used, while also dealing with the issues of alcoholism, the role of women and family histories.

The team which wrote and designed the book:

Laura Caregari
Serge Ecker
Misch Feinen
Anima Folschette
Caroline Koener
Serge Molitor
Luciano Pagliarini
