Where one eats one eats two

Canasta Básica is an initiative that seeks to bring a free meal to people in need, in a way that you buy a meal for yourself that is prepared by an independent kitchen that receives full payment and in turn Canasta Básica takes care of bringing the meals to those in need.

This interesting initiative brings together the best of independent kitchens with the social support that we are all thinking about doing but never get around to. According to their website, "when you buy a menu through Canasta Básica you support independent kitchens that bring fresh and excellent quality food to your table and to the table of someone who needs a free meal." So we've really run out of excuses to do our bit.

A few weeks ago, at Covive we sent a menu to each of our houses as a kind of community activity that helps us to strengthen coexistence, avoid friction but above all to ensure that the overall experience of our inhabitants is the best. These types of experiences help our inhabitants to get to know each other outside of their usual contexts, detonate the coexistence within our spaces and help us to understand their needs to better enjoy our shared homes.

How much does Canasta Básica cost?

We understand that each menu has a different price and we know that over the weeks we have seen an incredible variety of dishes and each one we crave more and more. Right now, you can run to their website and order Macaroni, Deep Dish Pizza, Empanadas Argentinas or a Vietnamese Sandwich. Every week they host a guest cuisine, so you can always enjoy a different menu and continue to support.

Does my food arrive ready?

No, that's the best part. That Canasta Básica sends you things ready to cook, so we can -almost- assure you that you'll have a great time cooking, especially in company. It may be a new dynamic for you, but it's definitely worth a try. When your order arrives, don't forget to accompany it with some good songs and the best company.
