Training elements

THE BASICS
The basics of the course gives the chefs a deeper understanding of how public kitchens can contribute to the climate goals, why work to reduce food waste is important and how to balance cost-effectiveness with ecological responsibility.
WORKSHOP
The next part is the workshop where we look at how to adapt and drive business goals, how the menu can be designed to best manage overproduced food. We discuss how values around food and sustainability can be communicated to your guests.


COOKSHOP
Finally, in a cookshop, the chefs get to try transforming residual products and ingredients into tasty dishes. By working with upcycling, you get concrete tools to reduce food waste in your daily routine.
