Transforming lives, one plate at a time.
The seeds we plant today shape tomorrow. At the Manu Buffara Institute, we believe gastronomy goes beyond the plate — it has the power to transform lives and communities.
Manu’s impact goes far beyond the kitchen. Through the Manu Buffara Institute, she uses food as a tool for social transformation. Projects like “Alimenta Curitiba,” training programs for school cooks, and urban gardens are concrete examples of how the chef uses her voice and expertise to drive real change.
More than creating memorable dishes, Manu is dedicated to creating impact.
At the Manu Buffara Institute, food is at the heart of initiatives that transform communities, restore dignity, and promote education.
