Slow food
Slow food is an international movement that aims to broaden the terms of food enjoyment and to share enjoyment, its own virtue, as broadly as possible.

Slow food is seasonal, regional, traditional and sustainable. It is nutrition for the soul and is about recognising that food is a farm product, a product of skill and toil. Slow food is much more than the opposite of fast food. It is about using local seasonal produce, restoring time-honoured methods of food production and reviving the kitchen and the table as the centres of pleasure, culture and community.

The quality of the food is, in large part, due to the methods of production and preparation by farmers, artisans and chefs. Thus, in a sense, this movement could also be called 'slow kitchen': like ingredients, kitchens must be carefully considered, nourishing and thoughtful. This is about finding a kitchen that suits the users, rather than what is most popular.

By marrying form and function in a realised way, the slow kitchen creates a better experience for the user. The slow food experience invites us to pause, reflect and savour. The slow food kitchen is about getting connected back to the creation of ingredients, cooking the meal and enjoying the gastronomical experience in a social and pleasant environment in the home.
