Start it Café/02.

​Join us for a hands-on workshop where food, sustainability, and creativity meet. The session takes place at the Upcycling Space by Secontaste — a pop-up store and community space created within the Nyitva! Festival in Budapest. The space brings together food and design through a zero-waste mindset, showing how by-products and surplus ingredients can become high-quality, desirable products.

​In Mix Your Upcycled Meal, you’ll create your own personalized instant porridge blend using upcycled ingredients — and discover how everyday food choices connect to larger systems.

​What to expect

​Build your own instant porridge mix step by step

​Experiment with upcycled ingredients (e.g., seed flours, cocoa husk, food-production by-products)

​Explore flavour combinations from sweet to savoury

​Learn how to turn simple ingredients into balanced, nourishing meals

​Along the way, we’ll also talk about:

​Food waste and upcycling

​How ingredient choices impact nutrition and sustainability

​Why “simple” food can be the most powerful

​No prior knowledge needed — just curiosity.

​By the end, you’ll leave with your own custom mix and a fresh perspective on everyday meals.
