Competent Cooking? Applying Practice Theory in the Kitchen
We study consumer competences using a practice theoretical approach to consumption in the ‘world of cooking’. Findings reveal:the centrality of engagement levels and projects in shaping competency; a distributed nature of competence between user and objects; the thoroughly performative nature of competence in both the supermarket and the kitchen.
