Samenvatting

Sharing platforms gained importance in recent years. Little is known about whether and why novel means to digitally share meals are incorporated into people’s everyday portfolios of everyday food provisioning. The objective of this paper is accordingly to explore why digitally mediated meal sharing is incorporated (or not) into an array of everyday food provisioning practices. We use observations of and interviews with users of the Dutch platform Thuisgekookt, on which home cooks offer meals to be picked up by neighbors. Three teleoaffective episodes - anticipating, actualizing and assessing - assist in explaining why meal sharing recruits practitioners (or not).
