As part of TUCO's commitment to the 20percentlessmeat campaign from PSC100 we are proud to present this 90 minute mini-workshop will give you a taste of the Forward Food programme and inspire you to create more delicious plant-based dishes.
During this webinar there will be a talk on the power of plant-based cooking by The Humane Society and Forward Food’s programme manager Sean Mackenney and an opportunity to cook-a-long a plant based main dish and dessert with renowned chef Jenny Chandler.

Overview

Forward Food is a campaign launched by The Humane Society of the United States and its international affiliate, Humane Society International, to encourage and enable food-service providers to shift the focus of their menus away from animal products and put more plant foods on plates.

This 90-minute webinar will help delegates with insight into our Forward Food programme in which we:

  • Create and deliver tailored culinary training workshops run by professional chefs, to equip chefs with the knowledge and inspiration to create more delicious plant-based dishes;
  • Offer companies advice on implementing menu changes and marketing more plant-based dishes;
  • Support companies in monitoring and evaluating the positive impacts of a shift away from animal products, including reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

This interactive webinar will give some knowledge and a little inspiration to create more delicious plant-based dishes.

FAQs

  • I can’t see a particular course/training, can you run it?

    If you are interested in receiving training that is not already offered by TUCO Academy, pop us an email or give us a call and we will see if we can source it for you. By going through TUCO Academy you will be able to purchase the training at a subsidised rate and if you can offer the training to other members it will reduce the cost further. 

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Can I request a course or development day be held at my organisation?

    The TUCO Academy has worked hard to offer all training at a subsidised price, agreeing reduced corporate contract rates with hotels etc. - yet still understands the benefits of in-house training. To that end, working alongside the professional trainers, TUCO Academy can arrange for events to be held at your own institution, for no extra cost. 

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Who can use the training with TUCO Academy?

    All professional development events are available for ANY staff in institutions who are members of TUCO, not just employees in the hospitality, catering and commercial services department.

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Can I book on behalf of someone else in my organisation?

    Yes – the person making the booking doesn’t have to attend.
