What is the meaning of home for those who don’t have one – and can high-end gastronomy help meet the needs of homeless people?

Discover the inside story of how 60 of the world’s most renowned chefs came together to offer a soup kitchen with a difference, cooking with food waste from Expo2015 in Milan.
