Synopsis:

Discover how professional chefs and restaurants can turn food waste into profit, sustainability, and culinary innovation.

Every year, professional kitchens throw away tons of edible food — wasted ingredients, wasted money, and wasted opportunities. The Professional Chef’s Guide to a Zero-Waste Kitchen is the first comprehensive manual that teaches chefs, restaurateurs, and hospitality managers how to cut food waste, reduce costs, and build a sustainable kitchen culture.

In this practical and inspiring guide, you’ll learn:
✔ How to measure and reduce the true cost of food waste in restaurants
✔ Proven systems for smarter inventory, storage, and staff training
✔ Creative cooking techniques for whole-ingredient use, scraps, and leftovers
✔ How to engineer menus that minimize waste and maximize profit
✔ Strategies to market sustainability and attract eco-conscious diners
✔ Tools to track, report, and communicate your impact with confidence
✔ Future trends in AI-driven kitchens, sustainable sourcing, and zero-waste culture

With case studies, step-by-step toolkits, and culinary techniques, this book is more than a sustainability handbook — it’s a roadmap to running a profitable, innovative, and environmentally responsible professional kitchen.

Who this book is for:
✔ Professional chefs and culinary leaders
✔ Restaurant owners and operators
✔ Hospitality managers and educators
✔ Anyone serious about reducing food waste in the kitchen

If you want to cut costs, inspire your team, and lead the way in sustainable dining, this book will show you how.
