The more you make it, the more little tricks and hacks you find to improve it. That’s what our chefs do, too. They’ve just finished making a more balanced Parmigiana di Melanzane, with a bit less sage and different breadcrumbs on top. They’ve also worked on the Hearty Chicken Casserole and Coq au Vin recently, and all the tweaked recipes are in our freezers now. Great cooking is all about the details.Every home cook knows a good recipe is just the beginning. The more you make it, the more little tricks and hacks you find to improve it.

That’s how much is wasted globally every year. Over 900,000,000 tonnes, around 1/3 of all food produced. It’s staggering. And a disaster for the planet. Reducing our surplus and redistributing what’s left is a priority for us. Currently it’s between around 1% and 3%, once the meals are dished up. In one of our kitchens we’ve launched a new process and around 40% of this surplus is reused in our cooking or is given to food charities. With their help we’re aiming to get this up to 75% across all our kitchens.Imagine a line of 40-tonne trucks, bumper to bumper, all full of edible food. So long, it encircles the Earth seven times.
