Introduction

During this masterclass, you’ll discover creative ways to reduce kitchen waste by transforming surplus ingredients into sustainable dishes that elevate your cooking. You’ll be guided through three key recipes. The first is a signature Silo dish featuring puffed crisps, vegetable treacle, and goat’s cheese. The second is a grilled onion with rich pork garum and intense allium oil. Finally, you’ll make a zero-waste ice cream sandwich from buttermilk, bran, and bread syrup. You’ll learn how to make the most of every ingredient, showing that zero-waste cooking enhances flavor rather than compromising it. The goal is not to replicate these dishes exactly, but to inspire you to use every part of your ingredients in circular, sustainable ways.
