I am a Canadian living in South Africa who trained at the Ritz Escoffier Cooking School in Paris. Since arriving in South Africa, I have been working in Game lodges, reinventing menus and training staff. My interest in reducing kitchen waste by using leftovers was heightened when I began working in game lodges where food is delivered once a week and waste is charged by the bag. One learns to become very frugal and creative and that is what I want to inspire others to consider by taking baby steps with me.
