WATYA EATING EXPERIENCE
Share your table, get paid, help feeding the ones in need.
WHAT IS WATYA?
Watya (Huatia or Guatia in Spanish) is a Quechua word for an Andean dish traceable to the Pre-Colombine Peru.
Watya is a traditional Peruvian earthen oven which dates back to the days of the Inca Empire. A banquet prepared with this sort of oven is known as a Pachamanca. This type of oven is commonly associated with the peasants in the Cuzco region in the Andes.
​
"Before the Pachamanca there was the Huatia or Watya. Farmers used this type of cooking for special occasions such as the harvest of the potato. They cooked it underground, with heated lumps of earth. The yachaq was in charge of the ceremony, therefore, did the cooking as well. During these ceremonies it was important that the gods, the Pachamama (Mother Nature) and the people were in complete harmony. Therefore, eating directly from Mother Earth’s belly, the fruits she bares showed the balance and joy of living in a community".

OUR GOAL
​
To bring people together at the same table with just a click. No more eating alone, no more wasting food.
By connecting people we also contribute to feed the people in need in our location and hopefully we would be feeding people in every location where this group succeeds.
You decide to cook and share your table with friends or maybe with someone you don’t know yet (but who is a member of this group).
You set the day and time plus the number of Watya guests you want to invite. price your meal from 4 options based on the kind of food you are offering.
Members will register, pay the amount and come to your dinner.
​
You don’t need to host a dinner just for Watya, you can also invite members to a party you are already hosting.
