Culinary Misfits aims to change public perception when it comes to food. Not only do we rescue vegetables that would otherwise be thrown away, but we present them in a variety of delicious and nutritious recipes made with vegetables supplied by local farmers from Berlin and the surrounding areas.
Misfits are natural wonders like crooked cucumbers, heart shaped potatoes, three legged carrots and monster beets that would normally be overlooked and considered worthless in the marketplace and therefore would never make it to the vegetable isle in your local supermarket. We want to showcase their natural beauty and also bring other natural delights, like wild herbs and old varieties, back into the kitchen.
Not only do we want to avoid throwing away perfectly good food, we want to do so in a playful way with fun inspirational recipes and a pleasing, colorful, and unique presentation.
After spending nine months researching sources, catering many events and creating tasty new recipes, we are eager for our creations to be available to the public every day in our store. This isn't only to rescue the misfit veggies, but also to share a new way of thinking about food and sustainability. We also aim to educate the public and to provide a cozy and welcoming place for new ideas to blossom.
