BaxterStorey will be hosting talks, networking events and masterclasses to celebrate and share information about climate conscious cooking among its chefs and clients.
Greg Bramwell, director of food at BaxterStorey, will lead a roundtable at the Chefs’ Manifesto Action Hub at OmVed Gardens, with guest speakers Paul Newnham and Henry Dimbleby. They will discuss how to engage the industry more with the National Food Strategy.
This will be followed by three global Chefs’ Manifesto members – Vanshika Bhatia from India, Cristina Bowerman from Italy and Palmiro Ocampo Grey from Peru – leading a masterclass for BaxterStorey chefs in climate conscious culinary practice.
Events will include pop-ups across BaxterStorey’s clients in the capital to promote LCAW, led by BaxterStorey chef partners including Bettina Campolucci Bordi hosting a ‘Beans is How’ inspired pop up.
The week will conclude with an event dedicated to ‘driving sustainable nutrition’ at a London-based client location, demonstrating how easy it is to improve nutrition and deliver positive client impacts in the food and beverage space.
Now in its seventh year, LCAW is the largest city-wide climate festival in Europe, attracting more than 45,000 people annually. LCAW provides a brand and platform under which hundreds of organisations, communities and individuals host events, creating a large and vibrant programme of climate-focused activities.
Bramwell said: “Following the success of launching our Sustainable Nutrition movement at our Obsessed Expo last month, and the release of our Second Nature ESG strategy report; London Climate Action Week is a key moment to amplify our mission and inspire our teams and clients to lead the charge for positive change.
“We’re building a food culture that connects seasonality and science, harnessing the power of food to supercharge customer health, champion wellbeing, and playing our part in climate action. It’s all about people, planet, purpose and redefining what’s possible in hospitality.”
