slow food

Leisurely prepared meals

Slow food refers informally to meals that take significant time to prepare, as opposed to fast food or quick convenience meals.

The phrase emphasizes traditional cooking methods, fresh ingredients, and unhurried preparation: After years of takeout, she's gotten into slow food—roasts, braises, the whole thing. (Capitalized Slow Food is the international movement.)
