London Calling! Cook for Change Grand Finale

Over the last few months, Sodexo chefs across the globe were part of the Cook For Change challenge. This March, London hosted the Grand Finale of the competition.

One of the participants was our very own, Peter Brass. Before the Grand Finale, he took home the Best Low Waste Recipe award at the APMEA Finals in Shanghai. While Peter didn’t win at the global finals, being a global finalist is an amazing achievement—Peter, you’re a legend in our eyes.
