Better Food

Starts With You

We help transform institutional kitchens from processed food to scratch-cooking operations.

Our projects train existing cooks to make food from scratch with fresh and locally sourced ingredients using money and time that already exist in the system. We coach institutions to utilize waste reduction strategies and help implement efficient kitchen operations to make scratch cooking a reality.
