Do you think of turning the white part in the watermelon rind into a delicious meal? What about making desserts with increasing syrup? Here are ingenious dishes that prevent food waste. Watermelon peel meal, must ring, barren from dried stale bread, leftover dough and cheese tirit, bone broth papara… These were some of the meals at this project’s “Have Your Soul’s Lunch”. This is an Istanbul based international food conference that speaks about the food issues. The third conference was held on October 21 at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum, and this time the subject of “extinction” was discussed. Like last year, the main sponsor of the conference this year was Grundig. During the day, impressive speakers shared their projects and stories in the hall, where approximately 300 people gathered. They inspired to protect and preserve the environment, culture and food. The garden of the museum near the Bosphorus was transformed into a very different dining area for that day. A container with a kitchen was placed at the entrance, seating areas were prepared from pallets. Dishes from Turkey’s seven regions associated with women who are not professional chefs cook food world, but it was. While they were conductors, successful professional chefs and culinary students of Istanbul became volunteer apprentices for them. Preparations started a day ago.
