A bite of food from another culture : Fostering cultural integration through homemade food

Since food is such a vital part of life and an instinct that none of us can live without, I wanted to combine food with the fun of experiencing new recipes, connecting other cultures via cuisine, empowering individuals to start their own businesses, and easing the lives of people with daily responsibilities and obligations such as workers, students and families. “Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.” Alice May Brock (of Alice’s Restaurant fame 1977). The complex, delectable food that we used to eat at our parents' house are not available at most places. However, by designing a system that connects brilliant chefs at their homes from many different cultures with customers who want such a service on busy days, they may use it in days or weeks filled with various activities and responsibilities and who want to experience different cuisines from other cultures throughout the world, they may find themselves craving the food they ate as a child. Even while attachment style develops throughout childhood, it has an impact on people's social attachments, interpersonal relationships, and emotion management well into adulthood (Gillath, Karantzas & Fraley, 2016).
