Salone del Gusto - Terra Madre

To help explain how food changes the world Slow Food will be organizing many fun and educational activities that invite visitors of all ages to rediscover the pleasures of conviviality, shop and eat responsibly, respect the seasons, benefit from biodiversity, train the senses and get to know the people who farm, catch and produce the foods that end up on our plates every day.

Slow Food will be welcoming adults and children, school groups and families in a redesigned and expanded space. Activities will be held in the Oval in the Ludoteca, the Teaching Kitchen, the Food Garden and the Supermarket in the Agora area of the Slow Food stand in Pavilion 2.

MASTER OF FOOD: A TASTE FOR LEARNING

The Master of Food courses at the Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre offer a series of practical activities, stimulating and reinforcing learning through direct experience. That’s the spirit behind the courses, “Horticulture” and “Cooking Without Waste,” dedicated to sustainable production and consumption and designed to cater to visitors from both Italy and abroad. The production and cooking techniques outlined in these courses are simple yet powerful ideas that have the potential to change the world. Translation into English will be provided.

MASTER OF FOOD: COOKING WITHOUT WASTE

Looking at leftovers and scraps that are often discarded, this course will show how to reduce waste in the kitchen by reusing as much as possible. You’ll learn recipes, tips and ideas, based on a mix of creativity and tradition, for preparing dishes that are just as good as the originals.

MASTER OF FOOD – HORTICULTURE

We all know carrots don’t grow on trees. But the fact that radishes can be harvested from a balcony is not such common information. Not to mention aromatic herbs, flowers to attract insects, mulch to preserve the soil and compost to transform waste into new soil. Growing our own food is fun and revolutionary. Come enjoy an opportunity to design one, ten or a thousand possible food gardens.
