““The TOMORROW’S KITCHEN workshop was an eye-opener for our students. It gave them a real understanding of how their food choices can influence the wider food system, and the hands-on format really brought the learning to life. Workshops like this are vital for preparing our students to become thoughtful, responsible chefs who are conscious of their impact from kitchen to community.”

What is the Today’s Menu workshop?
The dynamic workshop includes:
an introduction to the theory of Agroecological foods.
an overview of our free Today’s Menu resource.
A discussion on the importance of developing strong relationships with farmers and suppliers, and how these connections can support a more resilient, transparent, and regenerative food system.
The workshop inspires creativity and encourages participants to embrace the natural limitations of locally seasonal cooking, understanding that the best innovations can come from working within constraints.
Participants learn about key ingredients that can bring about positive change in our food system, develop creative skills to practically incorporate said ingredients, and through interactive activities are encouraged to think critically & make considered decisions that promote sustainability/resilience.

Perennial Foods Workshop
One of the most exciting sections of Today’s Menu is Perennial Foods. Perennial crops offer a diverse range of climate-resilient ingredients that can make the UK food scene more unique, resilient, and delicious.
In conversations around “less meat, better meat, more plants,” perennials are a key part of what makes “more plants” genuinely exciting and flavourful.
Book a workshop or talk with our founder Jack to explore the perennial foods that deserve a place on our menus, including tastings and practical insights.
