Geometry is one of the oldest branches of mathematics and accompanies people throughout her own experience. The knowledge of this subject, increasingly investigated since the time of Euclid, leads to discovering many crucial aspects, related not only to the development of mathematics but also to other scientific fields. It is very important motivate students, at any levels of learning, to improve the familiarity with this subject.

Abstract
Geometry is one of the oldest branches of mathematics and accompanies people throughout her own experience. The knowledge of this subject, increasingly investigated since the time of Euclid, leads to discovering many crucial aspects, related not only to the development of mathematics but also to other scientific fields. It is very important motivate students, at any levels of learning, to improve the familiarity with this subject. Therefore, it is necessary to train pupils since primary school to recognize aspects of geometric elements even of everyday life. The paper proposes to assume the food as vehicle of connection with geometry, taking inspiration from all that is presented on the table. That is not only what is concerned with ingredients of a rec-ipe, but also what is necessary to prepare an elegant table.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
