Make cooking up a storm more sustainable with these simple steps. Before you go on and oblige to what we suggested in our title, make sure they tick off this rigorous list of ingredients that maketh ‘A Sustainable Chef’. Each chef would have to be judged on resource conservation, waste management, sustainable sourcing and storing, and much more!

After all, we don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions doing it imperfectly.
