Our contribution will look at the concept of ‘digital food’ from an ethnographic case study: a series of digital cooking events held by asylum seekers—mainly women—hosted in the national hospitality system in the city of Padua, Italy, during the exceptional circumstances of the breakdown of Covid 19 pandemic. In this context, the three pillars of the Food2Gather project—migrants/refugees, food, and public space—came into play in a dynamic online/offline environment. While the literature on food and migration and migration and digitalities is expanding, the intersection of these three—food, digitalities, and forced migration—remains largely unexplored. In the following essay, two key questions will illuminate the ethnographical data, providing food for thought: How can the irreducible elements of food (a required time, precise ingredients and instruments, skills and knowledge, among others) encounter new technologies? Furthermore, and vice-versa, how the specificities of digitalities do affect food in the context of intercultural encounter between refugees and locals?
