Ester Krumbachová was interested in food as an opportunity for sharing, social interaction, and involving additional senses in communication. Dinners at Ester Krumbachová’s meant coming together in a different form than the unofficial apartment seminars; they were not organized in the format of intellectual exchange. In films, Krumbachová also showed that food is not just trust and care, but also plays a political role; that banquets are also spaces for political representation and manipulation. Cooking also has yet another, entirely different dimension, as she herself confirmed: “I like cooking, there’s a bit of eroticism in it, what are you going to do, gentlemen, you don’t understand it in the slightest.”
