  Last year, everyone had to quickly learn how to work remotely. As companies are struggling to find the human side of these experiences, we were wondering how we could catalyze connections between colleagues without the coffee breaks and the unplanned chats in the corridors. All of this while addressing the larger societal problems in the world. We, at Not Simply Food, are aiming to address these problems by facilitating authentic food experiences that connect teams with different cultures and stimulate team bonding while creating a positive impact in developing countries.
