Food waste is a major issue. We'll show you what you can whip up for dinner using leftover food.

The Starting Point

About one-third of all food produced in Switzerland is thrown away and thus wasted. This is not only bad from an economic standpoint, but also a major problem from an environmental perspective. Switzerland has set a goal of halving per capita food loss by 2030 and reducing the environmental impact of food waste caused by Swiss consumption by approximately 40 to 60 percent.

By participating in this cooking workshop, which addresses the issue of food waste, you’ll help bring us a little closer to this goal.

The Workshop

Food waste is something we deal with every day, whether it’s in our own refrigerators or while shopping at the store. The market stall we’re setting up for the class features food items that are past their expiration dates or no longer look their best. However, as we all know, these items aren’t spoiled—they’re still perfectly good to eat. The challenge at the “Taste the Waste” cooking event is clear: you never know which ingredients you’ll get to cook with, and you’ll be cooking without a recipe.

After the welcome, the event begins with a light appetizer. This is followed by a presentation on the topic of food waste. Then it’s time to start cooking—a professional chef will guide you through the process. Finally, everyone will sample the delicious creations together at a communal table.

This cooking event is generally vegetarian. Upon request, a meat option can be included for an additional charge per person.

The Location

The “Taste the Waste” cooking event takes place at a very special location in Kilchberg, allowing you and your group to immerse yourselves in a different world in an unusual setting. The cool ambiance and unique atmosphere of the well-equipped kitchen make this workshop a one-of-a-kind experience.
