NO WASTE,
JUST TASTE
Hello! My name is Karin and I work as a chef at Vår Gård, but in the kitchen I am better known as Kakan. I am passionate about sustainable cooking just like my colleagues. The interest in reducing food waste became both a successful dinner event and a book that leaves nothing on the plate – No Waste, Just Taste, simply put.
I have always advocated making use of the food we eat, that is, all food, even leftovers and leftovers. Last year I wanted to take it a step further, and show how delicious leftover food can be if you have a little imagination. So my colleague, also named Karin, and I started the No Waste – Just Taste tasting menu here at Vår Gård. It was a success!
What we heard from everyone was just how luxurious it tasted, and with something as simple as edged raspberries and sad tomatoes. I have always been involved in the environment and nature, ever since I was little and over the years have become more focused on taking advantage of what nature gives me. Getting the chance to share my knowledge and passion with others has been very rewarding. So rewarding that it became a book too.
This food waste thing has to stop. And we can all help, because it basically starts with each of us. In my book, I have collected my best tips and tricks for some delicious and simple recipes. Now No Waste – Just Taste is here. The book, that is.
