Learn how to create haute cuisine snacks with a focus on 'zero waste'.
In this course, we will create 5 zero waste snacks inspired by Japanese cuisine for using kitchen leftovers.
These recipes will help us make the most of everything that typically gets left in the refrigerator and that we’re unsure of how to use, transforming them into delicious and high-quality dishes.
At the end of this online course you will be able to:
- Utilize kitchen scraps such as fish trimmings, vegetables, and Parmesan rinds to create value-added products.
- Use vacuum sealing combined with pickling to extend the shelf life of food.
- Prepare flavored meringues using albumen powder.
