Lavazza has launched at-home meal kits celebrating coffee regions, with cuisines from Central America, the Amazon and Africa to celebrate their new ¡Tierra! coffee range. Created in collaboration with chef and MasterChef judge Jock Zonfrillo, the meal kits come with three recipes, designed for two people to cook over three nights: vatapá curry with annatto seeds for Central America, roasted pumpkin salad with tamarind from the Amazon, and East Africa represented with an injera bread with chickpeas.
“The meals within our kit include ingredients that will raise awareness on climate change and the importance of sustainable farming,” said Zonfrillo. “We’ve brought attention to regions that the Lavazza Foundation supports through its ¡Tierra! projects and highlighted produce that is culturally significant to these local communities.” The kits are $20 each, with proceeds to go towards a not-for-profit organisation to carbon-offset the kits’ travel, and are available via atlasmasterclass.com.au (search ‘Lavazza’) while stocks last.
