還原基本步 : 料理・藝術本事
計劃的雛形來自與油街實現合作的社區廚房目：還原頁 (A Page A Wish) ——與一眾參與者默默堅持以創造、手藝、烹調、飲食、清潔作為每日的修行形式，期望在紛亂的世道中堅持好好照料自己，也重新審視日常生活的重要性，藉以共同面對社會的種種變動。
一眾藝術家參加完烹飪班之後，除了按計劃安排為公眾煮出一餐又一餐精進料理之外，還延伸出各種創意的飲食紀錄，因此團隊認為以飲食為題及媒介的藝術項目，不單能輕易連結公眾，而且亦讓藝術家有更多發揮空間，煮和吃的經驗關係到身體五感和日常生活，今次將會結合社區元素，與社區人士分享藝術家對料理食物的觀察和思考角度。
吃的背後，從原材料生產，到煮食方法、用膳器具及場景，背後涉及多種方式和傳統，不同文化或儀式之下，又有相對的食品、吃的禮儀，因此每一次吃也是一種文化的綜合呈現。灣仔區作為一個擁有多元豐富社群的社區，期待計劃能以飲食發掘區內更多元深刻的文化特式，並透過活動、飲食交流、網上直播及社交媒體與街坊分享。
吃 (verb.)
吃飯，是一種把身體暫時帶回家的方式。疲倦時、憂傷時、看不到前方有路時，要做的事，其實只是，坐下來，好好呼吸，專心吃飯。歡迎所有愛家和想家的，或，無家的或有家歸不得的，一起圍爐吃飯，休養生息，把身體滋養成自己最堅固安全的家。」

社區 (noun.)
社區 (Community) 字面上是按照地域分界，將不同區域的居民視為同一社區的成員，然而香港18區的區域並沒有實際的界限，因此很多時所謂社區也同時牽涉到文化及身份認同等因素。每個社區裡的居民，入然有相同之處或相同經驗，但同時亦有其差異。因此我們期待透過「吃」的文化，讓區內居民尋找共同的同時，亦會去認識不同背景或價值的鄰舍，在社區當中求同存異。
^共創 ^對話 ^共同 ^和而不同
Make A Wish Return : Cookery and Art Practice
“Make A Wish Return” in Wan Chai-- inviting fellow participants to silently adhere to the daily practice of creating, crafting, cooking, eating and cleansing, with a hope to take good care of ourselves in the chaotic world. Inviting the Wan Chai neighbourhood to share recipes, explore the diverse cultures in the region through what we eat, and revisit the importance of daily life so as to face the changing society together.
