Food is inseparable part of human existence. We need to eat to survive but what we choose to eat and how is a topic of debate we will take up in this part of our ecoguide. The more we understand, the better choices we can make and more positively can we influence our local enviornment and community. Here are some of our practices we are proud to share with you.
Local food workshops
The aim of these workshops is to promote the importance of using fresh and seasonal ingredients in the making of our traditional dishes. It’s a great opportunity for the younger generation to get to know the culture of our community and explain to them where the culinary traditions came from.
It is part of eco aula projects which means the process doesn’t start in the kitchen. Some of the children plant the ingredients during spring in a garden close to our establishment. They take care of the plants over the necessary time and then when it comes the time, they get to gather them and use them in the kitchen. It gives children the opportunity to experience cooking before stepping into the kitchen. It makes them aware of the process and appreciate it.
Frequently we organise with local restaurants to create events called Marachef which give the professionals a chance to teach kids local recipes and maybe influence some of them to pick up a new hobby. It helps to keep our community together and pass down the tradition to next generations.
