MASTERCLASS:

Food Waste Prevention for Chefs

28th of April at 14:00 CET

Stop reducing food waste.

Start preventing it.

Tried and tested action plan to prevent food waste in restaurants, hotels and catering.

€89

Hotels and caterers are bleeding money from their kitchens.

Most kitchens don’t realise how much money they have in their bins. 

With a few kitchen behaviour shifts, commercial kitchens are reducing as much as 58% of their food waste within 6 months.

That’s thousands in savings - and no complicated systems. 

The best part? Profitability and sustainability go hand in hand.

Save money and the environment at the same time.

What makes me qualified to teach you about food waste prevention?

I am Vojtech Vegh.

I am a zero-waste and plant-based chef, author of the book Surplus: The Food Waste Guide for Chefs, and founder of the world's first zero-waste and vegan restaurant.

I have spent well over a decade working in restaurants across the world, from bistros to Michelin-starred restaurants, and from England to Cambodia.

After I’ve closed my restaurant, I focused my work on training chefs in food waste prevention and helping them to implement the zero-waste mindset practically in their kitchens. 

I now support some of the largest companies in the hospitality industry to reduce and prevent their food waste, and I also joined Winnow as their zero-waste culinary advisor.

Some of the chefs who worked me have reduced their food waste by as much as 90%.

I like to challenge the way we think, especially about food, and I am convinced that edible food belongs on the plate, not in the bin.

FAQ

  • I am confident in the content of this masterclass. However, the actual reduction depends on whether any suggested steps were followed or not.

  • Zero-waste cooking is less about cooking and more about principles and systems, which can be easily learned online.

  • As long as fresh food is prepared on site, then yes. Hotels, resorts, contract catering, events, casual restaurants, fine-dining restaurants, cruises, casinos, large kitchens, tiny bistros, etc. - all of them can benefit from food waste prevention.

  • I do not hold back on sharing information in these masterclasses. If you are looking to join but are hesitant to pay for it from your own pocket, speak to your employer about covering the cost for you. I only do this masterclass once a year.
