2. About the Project Eat the Streets
In June 2021 the first Eat the Streets Festival! explored Dublin’s rich food history by asking people, young and old to join us on a journey to Grow! Cook! Create! And Discover! Local chefs with a passion for Irish produce taught us how to celebrate Dublin’s vegetable roads taking recipes shared by young people and adding their twists and telling stories along the way in a series of five Cook Alongs. Growers, farmers, experts and foodies shared their knowledge in a series of five After Dinner Chats exploring our past, present and future relationship with food.
Knowing that we have merely scratched the surface of Dublin’s rich food history and culture we are working to develop the second Eat the Streets Festival. Food not only provides us with nourishment but is the biggest and probably oldest social connector and integrator - sharing a meal, we tell stories that bind us together. In growing and placing our hands in the soil, we connect with nature.
We want Eat the Streets! to connect people to each other, and to nature. By growing these connections Dublin flourishes socially, environmentally and economically.
