Our tribute
Grandma Sita - A Tribute to Rosita
We all start somewhere — for us, it began in the cosy kitchen of Rosita, Elena’s beloved grandmother from Vigo, Galicia. Grandma Sita is a heartfelt tribute to her; “Sita” lovingly comes from Rosita.
As a child, Elena learned by her side — to cook with the seasons, value every ingredient, and never waste a thing. That kitchen wisdom shapes everything we do today, while also honoring grandmothers everywhere who brought resourcefulness and love to every meal.
The Founder
Meet Grandma Sita
No one intends to waste food. But often, a lack of food knowledge leads to waste at home. Grandma Sita changes that.
Grandma Sita is a handmade puppet crafted from recycled materials — and the spirited face of our mission. As a food educator and food waste warrior, she brings warmth and wisdom to our impact start-up, championing sustainability through creativity and care.
Through practical, creative, and impactful tips, she helps people prevent food waste and make everyday plant-based meals tasty, healthy, and affordable. It’s about rediscovering the joy of cooking and eating together while taking better care of our planet.
our approach
A grannie on a mission
At Grandma Sita, we believe real change starts in everyday choices — especially in the kitchen. That’s why we focus on education, creativity, and community to tackle food waste where it begins.
Through community events, intergenerational workshops, and online content, we help people rediscover the joy of cooking and eating together — while making small choices that lead to big change.
Inspired by traditional wisdom and guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our approach blends the old and the new — showing that sustainable living can be simple, joyful, and delicious.
Our values
Sustainability starts at home, in the kitchen, and around the table.
Education for Change
From markets, households and partners - transformed into meals, We raise awareness about food waste and sustainable gastronomy through hands-on workshops, talks, and storytelling — because knowledge is the first step to change.
Plant-Based & Practical
Our recipes and activities are plant-based and low-waste, making it easy (and tasty!) to cook with care. We help people turn leftovers, scraps, and seasonal produce into something delicious.
Generations Together
We bring people of all ages together to share traditions, skills, and stories — just like Grandma used to. It’s about building community and passing on food wisdom with love.
