Specialist in Sustainable Gastronomy

A sustainable gastronomy specialist helps kitchens and food businesses cook well while caring for the environment and the community. You plan menus around local and seasonal ingredients, reduce food waste, choose suppliers with responsible practices, and find ways to use the whole ingredient. A typical day can include working with chefs on recipes, visiting farms or markets, tracking what gets thrown away, training staff on new habits, and talking with customers about where food comes from. Some specialists also consult for restaurants, hotels, schools, or food companies.
