Let’s Cook up a Revolution on Terra Madre Day

Terra Madre Day, Slow Food’s worldwide celebration of local food, held on December 10 each year, is the perfect opportunity to bring together our communities in the name of good, clean and fair food, and have fun while doing it.

With under week until the big day, it’s not too late to join in the celebrations by organizing an event, as big or small, simple or complex as you wish! You’ll join a symbolic moment with events happening all around the world – from a children’s cooking competition in Romania to a conference on dried fruit in Afghanistan to a local foods potluck in Ireland.

It’s simple, just follow the recipe and add your own zest…
