Innovation & sustainability: 3 questions to Chef Iyangar
Sustainability is continuously influencing food innovation, and our chefs are at the forefront of this rapidly changing landscape.
Check out this video to meet Chef Iyangar and hear about his view on sustainable cooking and the mouthwatering plant-based dish he cooked for the Sustainable Chef Challenge!
Indian Chef Ashwin Iyangar was a finalist at Sodexo’s first Sustainable Chef Challenge last December in Germany. This competition was part of Sodexo’s ongoing actions to raise awareness on sustainable eating through the use of a broader variety of plant-based ingredients to create tasteful recipes in order to positively influence people’s health and reduce the impact on the environment.
In addition to flavour and originality, judges awarded the contestants for creativity in "upcycling": the use of ingredients that would otherwise be thrown away.
This is the second video in our sustainable chef series, in case you missed it, you can see the winner Chef Doerr talking about his dish here.
