Three Quality of Lifehacks to Teach Your Child(ren) to Cook
Today is National Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day. In most cultures, learning to cook from your parents is a natural part of growing up. It may be connected to a holiday or religious tradition or simply a weekly dinner for a big family with deep ties to its heritage. But for many of us, that tradition sadly takes a back seat to the rigors of our daily existence. Cooking with the kids would be nice, but on a busy school night, dinner is just another chore to check off the list.

So how can we change that? It may be easier than you think and the benefits of taking just the first few steps are enormous.

How Caterers can Help Reduce Food Waste

You might recall from our first post that the concept of social license is about asking our customers to accept practices in the food experience that reduce waste.

Why We Need Your Support to Help Reduce Food Waste
Imagine, for a moment, that you get your lunch from the same café every day. You get a turkey sandwich that’s a little too big for you to finish, but it’s a good value. Then one day, you come in and notice your turkey sandwich is a little bit smaller. Would you be annoyed? Or relieved that you weren’t wasting food?

As simple as it seems, issues like this one are the heart of the fight to end food waste. While we in the food service industry continue to make changes to reduce waste, many fear that those changes could disappoint customers.
