Ideas: Community cooking workshop

• Give a platform to some local chefs to showcase some underrepresented foods in Jakarta (Such as Betawi meal- one of indonesian cultures but its locally specific to Jakarta), also offer free seasonal cooking demonstration weekly

• Provide local fresh foods from a family farmer’s market to community

• Allow visitors and surrounding local community to come and gather through the cooking lessons

• Teach visitors Jakatan’s food culture on site

According to the research, Jakarta is a melting pot of Indonesian cuisine from around the country, and since it’s all year summer with comparable temperate weather especially during June to October, so I came up with the idea of a “Community cooking workshop” that allows visitors and local residents easy access to and have a chance to gather through the “food culture sharing” from every June to October. So each week there will be some designated local chefs to showcase some underrepresented foods in Jakarta and offer free seasonal cooking demonstrations. Also, through the lessons, visitors would have a better knowledge of Jakarta’s food culture. Moreover, people are welcomed to cook together by purchasing a chosen local small family farm’s food on site which in a way promotes people to support the small local family farmers.
