At Essential Cuisine, we believe that constant learning, inspiration and sustainable practises are vital to staying ahead in the ever-evolving foodservice industry. This week, our team had the privilege of attending an educational trip hosted by the talented Colin Wheeler-James at Ground Up Cookery School. Colin’s passion for food and his deep knowledge of foraging, preservation, and sustainable cooking techniques to minimise food waste stunned and captivated the team from the moment we arrived. Ground Up Cookery School is renowned for its use of foraged and seasonal ingredients, blending traditional methods like pickling, fermenting, and curing with modern culinary techniques. This fusion of old and new gave our team invaluable insights to bring back to our customers.
