Massimo Bottura: Gelato to fight food waste
FoodserviceCarpigiani machines and the "Food for Soul" project
“I love how gelato evokes a childlike playfulness we should never lose. In Food for Soul’s kitchens around the world, in Milan, Rio de Janeiro, London and Paris, Carpigiani machines turned out to be very useful tools.
I can use my creativity to take full advantage of the ingredient’s lifecycle. I use dairy products close to their expiry date, such as ricotta, robiola and yogurt, plus fruits and vegetables, to transform them into tasty sorbets and gelatos, both sweet and savory.”
