Christmas isn\u2019t a one-day occasion in the hospitality industry, which means chefs could be cooking quite a few Christmas dinners. In the rush of it all, it can be easy to over-prep and cook a little too much, resulting in more waste than usual. However, there are a few simple steps we can take to reduce waste and our impact on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/insider.fairwayfoodservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/couple-inner.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/couple-inner.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/couple-inner-500x250.jpg 500w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/couple-inner-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/couple-inner-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/couple-inner-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/couple-inner-600x300.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>It sounds simple enough, but planning really does make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take bookings, and for big parties, it\u2019s a good idea to call on the day to make sure the number of people coming is still the same, so you don\u2019t over cater.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create your menu well in advance, less is more for parties, just a few dishes will do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you can, think about the following days after a big party too, and if there are any ways you can use some of the same ingredients in other dishes to help reduce waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Portion sizes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing worse than looking like you\u2019ve gone skimpy on the portions, but there is an art to getting it just right. Don\u2019t overfill the plates and if you\u2019re doing buffet style, sometimes holding back a little food is better &#8211; you can always take more out but none away. At least if the leftovers haven\u2019t left the kitchen they can be used for another table, eaten by staff, frozen (if it\u2019s an option) or given away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use the freezer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have enough freezer space for your leftovers, storing anything that can be kept. Label it up clearly, with the date and name, so that it\u2019s easy to find. Using ice cube trays to store sauces or stock and freezer bags that can lay flat is a good way to save space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go local<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Customers love to know when a chef uses local ingredients, especially those who care about the miles food has to travel to get to their plate. Save on air miles and packaging and support local businesses, where possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t discard the scraps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/insider.fairwayfoodservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INLINE2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INLINE2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INLINE2-500x250.jpg 500w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INLINE2-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INLINE2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INLINE2-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INLINE2-600x300.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many food items we get rid of that we can save, whether to flavour stocks or in sauces, pur\u00e9es and chutneys.&nbsp; Save your herb stalks for things like pesto and salsa verde, potato peelings and cauliflower leaves for a tasty snack &#8211; just cover with a little oil, salt and pepper, and pop in the oven. If you peel your carrots, deep fry them and use them as toppings on dips like hummus or on top of pur\u00e9es for a bit of crunch. And don\u2019t throw away the cauliflower and broccoli stalks; chop them up finely and use in sauces, bolognese and stews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get composting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t already, get yourself a compost bin. At least if you can\u2019t use up all your scraps, you can put them in a garden compost bin and put the nutrients back into the earth. Everything from potato peel to tea bags and egg shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get creative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/insider.fairwayfoodservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INNER.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INNER.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INNER-500x250.jpg 500w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INNER-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INNER-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INNER-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/XMAS-WASTE-INNER-600x300.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Leftovers? Think about how you can use these in another dish.
