"pay what you want"shabbat dinners

free shabbat dinners using free vegetables from the markets

Every morning we bought a random set of ingredients, took an attractive picture and uploaded it to our blog asking our followers: “guess, what we will cook today”? People ordered their What The Food dinner, not knowing what it would be – a pie, a ragout, a pizza, a risotto or anything else.

My name is Masha, I am a creator and producer in different art and media projects.

One of my pet projects is called What The Food, I launched it in Moscow, Russia. It's an art food

project, where I also worked as a vegetarian chef.

So I have an idea, which I would like to share with you! 

Few weeks ago I’ve visited Tel Aviv. I love it so much – everything – people,

culture, the air.

I found out about one tradition here: all markets give away products for free before Shabbat.

And mostly all the products are of a good quality.

I won't let good vegetables to decay!

I'd like to cook free shabbat dinners using these free vegetables from the markets. this dinners should be also free, but if someone wants to pay,

he can pay as much as he want. It can be so called

"pay what you want" meals.

If we collect enough money, we can donate it.

I would need some place to cook – a kitchen with equipment. It could be done any shabbat next month (1 day), also we can cook together.

To do this I would need

Project mechanics

I will advertise event “Pat what u want Shabbat Dinner” in social networks, web-sites, communities for the Tel Aviv audience before it starts.

Me and my fiends will collect veges from markets on Friday evening, check their quality and bring to place of cooking.

Then we will cook different unexpected dishes from all this veges. We can cook during all Shabbat.

We will install dinner table on the street (near your restaurant or near the sea) with all food and stand that will explain our idea. People can come and eat. For free.

We will install box for money. If someone wants to pay he can pay as much as he can.

We will make video reports during event and seeding after.
