This article considers the relationships between mobility and immobility in the context of food and cooking. It focuses on the construction of the domestic as a gendered, ethnicized, and classed space of immobility through which others experience "real" or "virtual" travel. These themes are explored through three examples: Vicky Bhogal's recipe book Cooking like Mummyji, the TV series by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, Jamie's Great Escape, and the Slow Food movement. In each case, the authors discuss who is mobile and who is fixed and show how ideas of home, tradition, local, and authentic are located through the cooking practices of particular figures. Through this discussion, the authors aim to highlight how immobility operates as a crucial reference point in contemporary images and discourses of globalized culinary culture.
