Karma Kitchen Launches in Surat

What started off as a "wild idea" email took a beautiful form on 21 Dec, 2013 when we had the Karma Kitchen at Fountainhead School, Surat.

Karma Kitchen's Fingerprint?

If a stranger walked into Karma Kitchen without knowing anything about it, how long would it be until she suspected that something was out of the ordinary?

Karma Kitchen's No Check Policy

[Originally published at In The Capital .] Imagine a restaurant where there's a no check policy and in its place is an invitation to pay it forward for those that dine after you. Though strangers in line, you're asked to give a contribution as a gift to the person waiting behind you to compensate for their meal. That's what...

Karma Kitchen 2 in Tokyo

Earlier in August, we just hosted our second Karma Kitchen. We decided to rotate locations, so more people get the benefit of understanding the ideals of a gift economy. This time, it was hosted by a cooking studio, who had originally offered desserts for our first Karma Kitchen, and really wanted to try it out at their restaurant....

First Karma Kitchen in Tokyo!
