Food is...

What does food mean to you?

Food carries deep meaning in our lives – beyond nourishment, it shapes who we are. It’s woven into our memories, our celebrations, and our daily rhythms. Through shared meals and cherished recipes, food connects us to our heritage, our communities, and each other. It is a universal need and reminds us of our shared humanity.
