ICC Cooking Party: A fun way to avoid wasting ingredients by using left overs!

Poster

Ah! I bought too much; I can’t use it all by myself.
Oh no! This food is almost past its sell-by date!

Have you ever stood in front of leftover ingredients and thought “what a waste”?

In Japan 6,430,000 tons of edible food and ingredients are thrown away every year as “food waste”.
That is equal to every Japanese person throwing away about 1 rice bowl of edible food every day.
Within that number, about 2,910,000 tons of waste food comes from private homes.

The United Nations has established October 16th every year as “World Food Day”, and to match up with
this Japan has also established the whole of October as “World Food Day” Month. This is to encourage people
to think about the food issues around the world and to work towards solutions to them.

During this time, the ICC is holding a “Salvage Party”!
Participants can bring their own left over ingredients and make delicious food from them together.
It’s a great way to easily take action to reduce food waste.

“If I could make food like this, then I wouldn’t leave a single bite!”
“It’s a lot of fun making food together with everyone!”
Think of recipes together, cook together, and eat together…it is a good chance for you to think about food waste while having fun.

Don’t worry if you’re not a master chef! You’ll be cooking together in groups with the advice and support
of a professional chef. If you enjoy food, if you’re concerned about food waste, if you want to make friends
while cooking, we’re waiting for your application now!
