A reason for joy and celebration 🎉: A couple of years ago we started a running dinner event in Mainz and learned about the pracitces. In consequence the association Mainz nachhaltig verbinden e.V.! project has evolved into an association that will offer even more events. From Mainz the concept got exported to a great voluntary community of people that organize in Heidelberg.
Mainz kocht! - The Running Dinner has been held twice a year since January 2020 whereas Heidelberg kocht! has been held twice a year since summer 2025.
Heidelberg kocht! is run by a group of volunteers. We are committed to a sustainable, socially just and liveable future!
With enthusiasm, creativity and a lot of fun, we create the concept, do the marketing, plan the routes and teams, look for sponsors and collect sustainable recipes for you as inspiration.
Social cohesion: We want to create space for encounters, exchange and inspiration. Connecting generations and cultures! Breaking down barriers! Move Heidelberg!
Sustainability: We want to promote healthy and sustainable nutrition. We also offer the opportunity to cook with rescued food.
Would you like to become part of our team and help make Heidelberg kocht! an unforgettable and lasting experience? Then send us a short e-mail to heidelberg-kocht@gmx.de.
In order to enable as many Heidelberg residents as possible to take part in the event, registration is free of charge. As a non-profit association, we are therefore financed by donations and sponsoring and look forward to your contribution to ensure that we can continue to organize the event in the future.
