During this webinar there will be a talk on the power of plant-based cooking by The Humane Society and Forward Food’s programme manager Sean Mackenney and an opportunity to cook-a-long a plant based main dish and dessert with renowned chef Jenny Chandler.
Overview
Forward Food is a campaign launched by The Humane Society of the United States and its international affiliate, Humane Society International, to encourage and enable food-service providers to shift the focus of their menus away from animal products and put more plant foods on plates.
This 90-minute webinar will help delegates with insight into our Forward Food programme in which we:
- Create and deliver tailored culinary training workshops run by professional chefs, to equip chefs with the knowledge and inspiration to create more delicious plant-based dishes;
- Offer companies advice on implementing menu changes and marketing more plant-based dishes;
- Support companies in monitoring and evaluating the positive impacts of a shift away from animal products, including reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
