SLOW MEALS ON GREEN WHEELS

Eat well, Spend less, Waste nothing

We at Slow Meals on Green Wheels believe that the food we eat should be healthy, taste good and should be affordable; that it should be produced, cooked and delivered in a clean way that does not harm the environment.

The food we offer

Authentic regional Italian food from the kitchen of native Italian local chef Nelly Capra. Healthy, nutritious, tasty home-made meals. We use the freshest local, seasonal, organic whenever possible, ingredients. All herbs and some vegetables and fruits are home-grown.

A Slow Meal is a three-course meal cooked from scratch
Each standard Slow Meal includes three items, plus an occasional  surprise item (focaccia, an extra vegetable or sample of future menus).

• Primo: pasta, rice, gnocchi, polenta or focaccia
• Secondo: meat, chicken, fish or  other vegetarian entrée
• Contorno: a vegetable side

Meals are prepared following for the most part traditional Italian recipes and are ready to eat. They only need to be gently warmed up.
