REGGIO CHILDREN: The Language of Food

We are what we eat! But what do we eat? In Reggio Emilia the choice of having and keeping kitchens inside every municipal Infant-toddler Centre and Preschool has, ever since, a strong pedagogical and cultural meaning. Kitchens become a virtuous interlacement of local culinary tradition, ecology, culture of the dialogue, art and globalism. Lunch time is a space for relations and encounters with the others and the world. From this context, we elaborated a cook book made of good recipes, experiences, projects, thoughts.
