B
It was just after 17:00 on a mid - September evening at a historical Church in Harlem, New York City. Mostly the low - income black neighborhood sat at dining tables. In front of them was a menu listing three courses, which they only saw on TV. Each dish was prepared with “leftover” ingredients(食材), offered free of charge and placed alongside a blue card that read “you are loved” in hand - written script.
This is one of 14 community centers created around the world in cities like Milan, Paris, Mérida, Lima, Sydney and now New York through three - Michelin starred chef Massimo Bottura's Food for Soul project. He started the project in 2016 with his wife, Lara Gilmore, to help fight the global problem of food waste—by using ingredients that might otherwise be thrown away by suppliers—and to give socially and economically vulnerable people access to high quality meals.
Partnering with architects, artists and community leaders, the project is transforming spaces, which are not fully taken advantage of, such as churches and even a historical home into intentionally designed cultural centers equipped with kitchens, dining rooms and other facilities that help create a sense of well - being, connection and inclusion.
When I asked Bottura why he created such thoughtful meals within beautifully appointed spaces for the low - income, he told me that everyone deserves respect and beauty—and of course, healthy food. “They come in and are completely lost because they're not used to coming into beautiful places like this. But once they're here, they realize that this place is their place. It's not my place,” he said.
Bottura's philosophy is one that comes from the heart. T - shirts worn by volunteers at his community centers say “cooking is an act of love”, and he approaches the food served there with as much care as he does at his restaurants—“probably even more”, he said since the diners are extremely stressed and need healthy food to feel better. Bottura insists that it's important to change the language around the food served in his community centers.
