This week we shine a light on Sustainable Eating with a focus on sustainable practices from farm-to-table dining to tips on reducing food waste and shopping locally.
We have all heard the term sustainable seafood when dining out, but what does it really mean and how is the hospitality industry embracing this philosophy?
Eating out (or ordering in!) can be one of life’s simple pleasures. While the status of your fishy friends may not be the first thing that comes to mind when placing your Uber Eats order when it comes to seafood, it’s worth considering how your choices impact the oceans.
Unsustainable fishing practices deplete marine ecosystems and harm biodiversity, but as a consumer, you have the power to support better practices through your meal choices. Marie-Antoinette dishes up a guide to help you spot sustainable seafood when dining out.
From our fashion choices to the flights we catch, sustainability continues to be at the forefront of the conversations surrounding responsible consumerism - with food waste reduction strategies offering simple yet impactful ways to encourage mindful consumption.
If you are keen to play your bit to help minimise environmental impact, save money and inspire creativity in the kitchen, Marie-Antoinette also has six easy and actionable tips to reduce food waste in your home - without sacrificing flavour.
Cooking is the only work Emilio Llausas has ever undertaken and he infuses his own Filipino heritage and style into every dish.
Born in the Philippines, Emilio had no clue what to do professionally – his parents owned farms where he would go every Summer and cook for the whole family and workers.
Fast forward and Emilio now has 19 years’ as a Chef under his apron and is in his seventh year at Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains by MGallery, where you’ll find him at Chef-hatted No.1 Sublime Pt in Leura on Friday and Saturday nights.
We chat to him about flavour combinations, seasonal produce and what his dream job is. Emilio also shares a recipe that is not for the faint-hearted – Wagyu beef fillet with mushroom, potato and bone marrow – however, if you are brave enough, the result is worth the effort.
