Results: The kitchens of war and the culinary practices of ex-combatants allow us to recognize the paths that put the frameworks of truth production in tension through cultural memory, contributing to the approach of more everyday perspectives for the construction of the historical story. Limitations: The research is part of the doctoral research project, so partial results of an ongoing investigation are presented. Conclusions It was decided to propose theoretical links between the categories of ex-combatant, cultural memory and culinary practices. Culinary practices in war, the preparation and consumption of food in ephemeral kitchens and the cultural memories associated with flavors, smells and colors, are modes of explanation associated with ways of making food that provide new understandings about the phenomenon of violence, peace and reconciliation.
