As part of our project students and teachers from Croatia and Portugal worked together to explore and preserve traditional culinary heritage.

During our activities, we prepared a variety of national dishes from each partner country. Each dish was documented and photographed, not only to celebrate our cultures, but also to highlight zero-waste cooking practices and the use of local, seasonal ingredients.

The recipes collected here are more than just instructions – they tell a story of cultural exchange, sustainability, and creativity. By using every part of the ingredient, minimizing waste, and sourcing food locally, these dishes reflect our project’s core values:

• Sustainability – cooking with seasonal and eco-friendly ingredients.

• Cultural preservation – keeping traditional recipes alive for future generations.

• Social responsibility – many of the meals we prepared were shared with those in need, showing how food can bring communities together.
