In a series of intimate online events, author Demetria Glace invites the audience to prepare recipes from The Leaked Recipes Cookbook. She fished out all the recipes in the book from the massive leaks of emails that entered the public domain in recent years through organizations such as WikiLeaks.

Hackers accessed the internal emails of companies such as Sony and Enron, and newspapers have been filled with reports about all the fraud, criminal practices, and interpersonal hatred and envy they brought to light. Glace’s focus lay elsewhere. What she went looking for in these vast collections of correspondence was recipes. The result is this cookbook, containing 50 previously confidential cooking and baking tips for making pancakes, a “secret” barbecue sauce, the best cookie in the world, and much more.

The recipes are accompanied by the original emails, and Glace provides background—in some cases she even converses with the authors of the emails and recipes. Reading between the lines, we get a unique glimpse into family, political, and office life, as well as a sense of the urgent need for online privacy.

Get ready to cook a dish ahead of the event. Depending on your time zone and tastes this might take ten minutes or a few hours.After booking your ticket, you will receive an email with a selection of recipes to choose from.

About IDFA DocLab

This year, IDFA DocLab and IDFA on Stage present do {not} touch, a special program that explores how artists across disciplines disrupt physical boundaries and challenge digital technology to seek out new forms of documentary art and human connection. The program takes place physically in Amsterdam as well as across various online platforms. Experiences range from online projects for your phone and live performances in virtual reality to interactive outdoor experiences, multi-sensory installations, planetarium screenings, and a radical attempt at climate-neutral theater. Book a timeslot in advance and visit Tolhuistuin to experience the VR-selection, an immersive installation and live VR performances. Read more on IDFA's website.
