If you are attending Food Revolution Doha on May 19 (TOMORROW!), then we have a surprise for you. As our goal is to help remind people the importance of home-cooked food and using fresh natural items in any way possible, we want to take this further & give you an opportunity to get involved and share your knowledge with the wider Doha community. We are hosting a potluck (Read more about it here). Do you have an amazing dish that you always cook at home, either passed down from family or you learned it from someone and improved it above & beyond? Bring a dish of food (whether it’s something you have for lunch and/or dinner, or even a dessert item) that you have made at home. There are a few rules: MINIMAL TO NO PROCESSED ITEMS! (The whole point is about using fresh items to make it. It can be challenging to find a lot of natural items, so we’re giving you a little bit of flexibility) CUT BACK ON OILY & TRANS FAT items.  Should be able to serve at least 10 people (Don’t plan to make so much that you’re catering an event). If it’s something part of your cultural heritage (Asian, Indian Subcontinent, Middle Eastern, etc.), we want to see that as well. If you’ve also made it healthier, that’s even better as others would be curious to learn. We’d love it if you can write up the ingredients you have used to making it, print it and put it next to your dish for others to learn and see. It’s a chance for others to learn as well. We have a table for you where you can place it. Plus, we have plates for you so that other people can get a chance to sample your home-cooked dish. If you have taken another dish and really helped to make it even more nutritious & healthy, we’re welcome to see that as well. Bring on your best mouth-watering recipes (whether it’s by your mother or even by you) & let’s remind each other of the significance of home-cooked food!
