'Slow food' cafe opens in Delhi

Delhi tastes 'slow food' revolution (BBC)

Carlos Petrini, the Italian founder of the 'slow food' movement that tries to counter the consumption of fast food worldwide, inaugurated Delhi's first 'slow food cafe' recently.

The 'slow food' movement began in Italy about 20 years ago and has now spread to 45 countries across five continents and has more than 80,000 members.

The article implies that slow food means organic food but that is not really the case. Slow food essentially tries to promote the local cuisine and the enjoyment of food as opposed to the fast-food drive-through culture.

Promoting 'slow food' in India won't be difficult because most Indian food is inherently 'slow' - complex to prepare and takes a while to cook.
