Course overview
Course description
Embarking on a culinary journey around the world is not just about savouring the flavours of diverse cuisines; it's also an opportunity to explore the fascinating carbon footprints of the foods that grace our plates. At our International Cooking Educational Course, we invite you to join us on a discovery of tasting new foods intertwined with sustainability.
Each dish we create is a story of history, culture, and environment, brought to life through the subtle range of ingredients. Our course is not just about culinary techniques but also delves deep into the ecological footprint of your favourite global dishes. From the rainforests of South America to the spice markets of India, you'll uncover the environmental impact of sourcing coffee, spices, and exotic fruits, and how transportation affects their carbon footprint.
We'll discuss sustainable sourcing, the importance of seasonality, and the eco-conscious choices that can be made to reduce the carbon footprint of international cuisine. You'll be captivated by the tales of farmers and the far-off places from which your ingredients hail.
This course transcends borders and plates, fostering a global understanding of how food choices resonate far beyond our kitchens. Join us to ignite your culinary passion and become a conscious global gastronomist while unravelling the delicious secrets of international cuisine
