Glean, Transform, and Create is a creative culinary workshop that invites participants to rescue food—which would otherwise go to waste—and collectively transform it into a delicious menu rich in colors, textures, and flavors. Through exploration, improvisation, and collaborative action, we will experiment with available ingredients to discover new culinary and creative possibilities, all while reflecting on our consumption habits, the value of food, and sustainable practices. It is an experience of gleaning, transforming, and creating that harnesses the kitchen in the service of imagination and caring for the planet, as part of the Cook4Climate campaign.
