Every day we have to maintain a fast pace of life; between work, family, home and/or study we have little time to dedicate to ourselves, so much so that we have to resort to social networks to interact with people and have fun. If we think about it, we have fewer and fewer opportunities to socialize. Forming relationships is an innate and necessary need to complete ourselves. It is from this new reality that the concept of Social Cooking : cooking together becomes an opportunity for exchange and meeting, capable of developing a network of friendships as happens on Social Networks , but in the real world.

Socializing in the kitchen

Social Cooking is a fun activity that allows us not only to learn to cook new dishes (thanks to the Chef's help) but to dedicate ourselves to something new, breaking the routine and socializing with new people, even if we are not already experts. skilled chefs.

“But if I have little time, how can I reconcile my commitments with Social Cooking ?”

This activity is designed precisely for those who have little time available but want to find a moment of leisure; therefore, in addition to not taking up too many hours, it is usually carried out in the evening after working hours. Social Cooking is an excellent way to broaden your network of friendships with people we would otherwise never have met and who share the same passion for cooking.

Meeting new people and making new friends does not end with preparing the recipes but also, once finished, savoring them all together at the social table .

Eating is socializing

Just as cooking together can create important bonds, sharing a meal, sitting together around a table, has the same power. Sharing food stimulates dialogue, makes us talk and open up to others, creating a pleasantly friendly and familiar atmosphere.

Conviviality at the table is a moment of extraordinary humanization , of exchange and mutual listening, in which there are no differences but only people who manage to benefit from each other's company and leave stress behind, at least for a few hours. that we all normally have to endure.

The need to socialize, be together, meet new people has turned into a global phenomenon, from which Italy has not been excluded.

communities of Social Eaters and Social Chefs have developed , i.e. groups of people unknown to each other (but united by a passion for cooking) who meet to prepare dishes to then eat together. To meet this new need , more and more cooking schools are making their rooms available or organizing activities aimed at socialization (such as Cucina In 's Aperitif Attivo ).
