THURSDAY 27TH OF APRIL – 2023

Community Brunch

The table is a meeting place, a gathering ground, the source of sustenance and nourishment, festivity, safety, and satisfaction. A person cooking is a person giving: Even the simplest food is a gift.

We want to invite you to a “Community Brunch” on the last Thursday of the month. Intended as a low-threshold meeting place where you can come alone, with a colleague, customer, or an old friend you haven’t seen for a long time.

About
— Our Philosophy

Food Studio is about sharing stories of people that believe in
good and honest food.

With good and honest food we mean food that both tastes good,
has a positive impact on our health, food that’s responsibly produced,
food that’s a result of plants and animals being treated well, and food that inspires us!

— Cecilie Dawes, Founder Food Studio

Regenerative Sustainability

Since we have used more resources than we have for a long time, (ref. planetary boundaries) Sustainability is no longer enough. We also must regenerate and rebuild healthy, resilient, and adaptable systems for the future.

Resource Empathy

We strive to connect people to the essense of all the resources we deal within our everyday life from food, our belongings, our time and our surroundings, in the end leading us back to nature.

Transparent Communication

If we all strive to live and work with greater honesty and dare to put our needs on the table, we can create positive synergies where everyone wins. This is a contrast to todays. society where we often compromise and play a role that doesn’t feel authentic. Whether you are a human or business, you should use your resources to cultivate your values. The stories you tell the world should be the honest stories of this continuous process.

Fields of expertise: food empathy, sustainable development, resource economy, slow entrepreneurship

For almost 20 years, Cecilie Dawes has been working towards a more sustainable food system through powerful tools such as visual communication, service design and the development of alliances. The continous cross-pollination of ideas and practices, both outside and within her own entrepreneurial projects, has made her a central force in Oslo’s food scene, contributing to local development and Oslo’s appearance on the globe.

In 2011 Cecilie quit her job as innovation manager in Deli de Luca (Norgesgruppen), to start Food Studio, which today has grown to become an international network with over 20 countries, and a strong community of trail blazors who wish to redefine the meaning and concept of sustainable living.
