For the second year, The Green Laboratory at the Hotel and Restaurant School welcomes you to the Upcycling Symposium. Here, some of the world’s most skilled chefs come together, all working with circular gastronomy, focusing on great flavor and full utilization of ingredients.

Look forward to a full day of talks and workshops, where you’ll gain insight into innovative techniques, sustainable solutions, and practical tools for working with side streams and by-products—and for rethinking how we view and use our ingredients.
