| DESIGN NAME: Hot Rainbow PRIMARY FUNCTION: Educational Service INSPIRATION: From our passion for food, The idea began when we investigated discarded food in New York City. We discovered that a huge amount of edible produce is discarded by grocery stores every night due to undesirable appearances. We believe that children can influence adult misperceptions about fruit and vegetables. This inspired us to use our skills in cooking, teaching and drawing to design a service that generates awareness and sparks a conversation starts with kid and parents. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: HOT RAINBOW is service that partners with supermarkets in New York. It aims to reduce waste caused by produce that is tarnished yet still edible. The problem for many shoppers is rejecting food on cosmetic grounds, leading to otherwise good food being discarded. The service connects with schools to host afterschool cooking classes that use unwanted vegetable, showing that it is usable. And weekend workshops that bring families to learn how to rescue produce by turn in to delicious dishes. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The service has two parts. First is a ‘How to rescue vegetable’ guidebook illustrating the virtues of this conservational approach. It includes cooking recipes that make use of several of the most squandered produce. Kids and parents learn about waste-reduction from different activities. The guidebook includes stories of vegetables, agriculture, food preservation, and how to distinguish produce that is still edible. Second is an Afterschool cooking class and Weekend cooking workshop. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2017 in Manhattan, New York. the project is design research + service design.
