ECOLOGICAL AND GASTRONOMICAL WORKSHOP EVENT / F.A.Q.

Ecology and gastronomy are two terms that complete one another. For example; if we pick vegetables from the field it is ecological and if you cook what you picked, that becomes the matter of gastronomy. Another example can be given by fruits that if we pick the fruit from its branches it is ecology and if we eat it then it is gastronomy.
