A restaurant that tries to do its bit for the environment, by eliminating food wastage, and is now organising an event where you can savour culinary delicacies created, literally, from produce generally thrown away as trash. One way Michelin-starred chef Dan Barber (Blue Hill at Stone Barns) is going to be playing the planet saviour at his pop-up restaurant springing up from February 24 to April 2 on Selfridge’s rooftop. Called wastED London, the pop-up will feature food waste converted into sharing dishes to bring awareness to the amount of food thrown out each year that is still very much edible. The restaurant’s effort will bring together local farmers, suppliers, fishermen and retailers to reimagine by-products at every link in the food chain. What’s more, there’s going to be a whole team of internationally-renowned and Michelin-starred chefs from the UK and Europe, including Tom Kerridge, Gordon Ramsay and Clare Smyth, creating the menus. This should be something worth watching out for!
