Eating with Benefits
A real-life, earth-savvy, back-to-basics approach that is helping people unravel the secrets of good food.
Changing Kitchen Habits
Food is one of the most searched, shared and universally appreciated topics in the world. But it’s also one we know very little about. Over the years, this gap in knowledge has adversely impacted our collective health and the state of our environment.
And then 2020 happened.
COVID-19 has forced us to think differently and look closely at what is truly important. During those early months of social isolation, most of us ended up spending more time in the kitchen than we had ever before. It was no no surprise that food finally took its rightful position, centre stage.
In this time of crisis, our movements were restricted, and shopping and eating habits changed, and eating out came fraught with complications. Gathering around the dinner table with friends and family became downright difficult.
That's how Eating With Benefits came to be.
