We believe it is essential to include recipes from around the world in Women In Touch to promote integration, strengthen cultural identity, and facilitate a sense of belonging in a diverse community. Gastronomy represents a powerful connection to one’s roots and traditions. Providing a space where women can share and discover recipes from different countries fosters an environment of respect and celebration of their cultures of origin.

Through cooking, immigrant women can express their history and values, which allows them to feel recognized and valued. This culinary exchange also facilitates the creation of bonds between them, since sharing a meal or a recipe generates a space for emotional connection and empathy, breaking down linguistic and cultural barriers. By learning recipes from other countries and sharing their own, opportunities open up for these women to find common ground, establish friendships, and support each other in their adaptive experiences.

We have designed five effective ways to encourage international cuisine by promoting cultural exchange and a sense of community:

1. Multicultural Cooking Workshops.
2. Online Collaborative Recipe Books.
3. Cultural Food Exchange.
4. Cooking Challenges with Local Ingredients.
5. Gastronomic Stories on Social Networks.
