Reducing food waste is an important issue in the catering industry. It is worth taking measures to reduce food waste, not only from an environmental perspective, but also from an economic one. Worldwide, one third of food ends up in the bin. In the EU, an estimated 173 kg of food waste is produced per person. Converted to Austria, that’s 143 fully loaded articulated lorries every day. Food waste is a massive problem for the environment. And means the loss of goods that have already been used.
We'll tell you how you can start saving money for a better future:
Lebensmittelabfälle sind in der Gastronomie ein großes Problem. Durch eine bewusste Planung, Lagerung und Verwertung von Lebensmitteln könnt Ihr als Restaurantinhaber oder Koch einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Reduzierung von Abfällen leisten und damit noch dazu Geld sparen.
In September 2025, Przemysław Klima, head chef at Bottiglieria 1881 in Krakow, will be the guest chef at Restaurant Ikarus in Hangar-7 Salzburg. The first Polish chef to receive two Michelin stars brings his distinctive signature style to Austria: Polish terroir, Nordic clarity, and the finest products, interpreted in a tasting menu full of depth and precision.
For the kitchens. For the future. For the industry. Taste of Tomorrow is the new competition for young talent that will bring young culinary talents from several countries to the big stage in 2025. After a multi-stage selection process, the eight finalists have been chosen.
With Taste: My Life in the Kitchen and on Camera, Stanley Tucci delivers much more than a culinary autobiography. This book is a subtle, intelligent reflection on life, told through the prism of food. Between film sets and family kitchens, between Meryl Streep and Nonna Tucci, a mosaic of anecdotes, memories, dishes, and deep insights emerges – sometimes humorous, sometimes touching, always with genuine flavor.
We didn’t just read Taste – we lived it. Tucci succeeds in presenting cuisine as the language of life: how much it shapes us, connects us, comforts us – and even brings us back to life when we lose our taste for it, as in his own battle with cancer.
In addition to lovingly told family stories, he makes us smile with anecdotes about cooking with celebrities or his ironic take on his own Italian cliché. The recipes scattered throughout – some traditional, some surprisingly modern – make the book not a classic cookbook, but a very personal culinary reader.
