Toni

Toni Santos is a culinary archaeologist and ritual food historian specializing in the study of ceremonial gastronomy, symbolic feasting traditions, and the culinary languages embedded in ancient cultural practices. Through an interdisciplinary and sensory-focused lens, Toni investigates how humanity has encoded meaning, identity, and sacredness into food — across vanished civilizations, forgotten festivals, and ritual tables. His work is grounded in a fascination with food not only as sustenance, but as carriers of hidden meaning. From obsolete cooking methods to ritual feasting and ceremonial dish symbolism, Toni uncovers the visual and symbolic tools through which cultures preserved their relationship with the culinary unknown. With a background in design semiotics and culinary anthropological history, Toni blends visual analysis with archival research to reveal how feasts were used to shape identity, transmit memory, and encode sacred knowledge. As the creative mind behind Ketunox, Toni curates illustrated culinary histories, speculative feast studies, and symbolic interpretations that revive the deep cultural ties between food, folklore, and forgotten ceremonial traditions. His work is a tribute to: The lost culinary wisdom of Ceremonial Dishes of Lost Cultures The guarded rituals of Culinary Symbolism in Rituals The celebratory presence of Forgotten Feast Festivals The layered material heritage of Obsolete Cooking Tools and Methods Whether you're a culinary historian, symbolic researcher, or curious gatherer of forgotten feast wisdom, Toni invites you to explore the hidden roots of ritual food knowledge — one dish, one symbol, one tradition at a time.
