We invite the community of the BioSenior project, consisting of residents from our municipality over the age of 50, connected to the Senior Experiences program of the Parish Council of Matosinhos and Leça da Palmeira.

For about two years, they have been sharing their experiences with us monthly, bringing us new knowledge, taking away new experiences, or reviving old ones with new methods, as in the case of organic farming—from planting seeds to harvesting and preparing food.

They mainly gain insights into sustainability, becoming more aware and attentive citizens regarding the issues we face and becoming part of the solutions our planet needs.

For the EWWR 2024, thus, they have been challenged to think of a primary ingredient and, based on it, create a recipe that maximizes the use of all products involved. This recipe should be written, prepared, and presented to the group for tasting on November 21.

The following items will be evaluated:

• Maximum use of ingredients
• Taste of the dish
• Presentation of the plate – “Instagrammable”

The jury will consist of one representative from the Senior Experiences program and two representatives from the BioSenior project.

All recipes presented will be kept by the project and transformed into a recipe book that promotes full use of ingredients, which will be shared via QR code with anyone interested.

Photos will be part of the project’s promotion on the municipality’s social media, with the respective recipe included.
