SUMMARY

Eating habits vary from society to society. The lifestyle of a society reflects the nutritional culture of that society. Changing lifestyle is an important factor in changing eating habits and culture. The discovery of fire is the most important finding showing the rise of human history. The discovery of fire led to the emergence of the first cooking methods. Clay pots, whose strength has been increased by cooking on fire, are the first man-made utensils of the primitive cuisine. The first people, after learning to process the metal, started to use the vessels made of metal and kept their tools in a separate place in the caves where they lived. The fact that they keep their tools in a separate place shows that the idea of the kitchen was formed even in those times. The development of technology has made human life easier in every sense. The developments making life easier, especially in food preparation, caused the inconvenient foods to be forgotten over time. In this respect, technological developments have had positive and negative effects especially on food culture.

While our project focuses on the relationship between food and culture, it is about good nutrition, the healthy reprocessing of foods / foods, introducing traditional dishes to each other among participants from different countries, keeping the traditional dishes about to be forgotten and passing on to future generations, the relationship between nutrition, sports and healthy life. It has the general purpose of promoting social inclusion and interaction, including those with limited economic, geographic, cultural and social opportunities, through traditional cuisine and cultural exchange to raise awareness.
