Description(s): 

This generative poem folds in two distinctly different activities— cooking and coding— to create a mélange that harmoniously foregrounds their similarities. For example, declaring variables and establishing a data set in a program is conceptually equivalent to listing ingredients and measurements in a recipe. Both recipes and code are executed sequentially: one by a cook, and another by the computer to produce output. From this perspective, the food produced from a recipe is much like the poem generated by the execution of its source code.
