LTT aktivnost projekta Zero Waste Catering Lab u Zagrebu 23.1-27.1.2023. 

Dan prvi u Zero Waste Catering Lab

Početak prvog dana snimanja bio je zanimljiv, koliko god sam htjela da dođem na vrijeme to same vremenske prilike nisu htjele. Pada kiša, puše jaki sjeverni vjetar, nitko ne zna voziti i ja kasnim.

Prije nego smo počeli dobili smo kavu i hranu da se malo opustimo. Svi su veseli i imaju želju za snimanjem. Zanimljivo je gledati kako se svi dobro slažu. Kreće snimanje, prvo su na redu Slovenski učenici koji su putovali iz Celja do nas kako bi podijelili svoje recepte, snimali i malo se družili s našim sudionicima projekta.

Zero Waste projekt se čini zanimljiv pa smo pitali Luku da nam kaže više o tome. Luka nam je objasnio kako je sretan da može pomoći životinjama i ljudima s time da manje baca smeća dok kuha. Njegov recept će biti orzoto s vrganjima, i namjerava umjesto plastike sve koristiti u drugim spremnicima poput staklenih posuda kako bi koristio što manje plastičnih spremnika koji uništavaju okoliš. Iako Luka nije toliko siguran hoće li pomoći odmah tako ljudima, čini se kako je sretan da možda može barem sam pomoći prirodi i ljudima kako bi buduće generacije imale mirniji život.

Nakon što su naši prijatelji iz Slovenije svoje recepte snimili, na red je došla Viktorija. Radila je košarice punjene kremom. Uz Viktoriju tu su bili Sandy naš glavni Chef koji je pomogao u kuhanju te Viktorijina prijateljica Sebahat. Bile su jako nervozne prije snimanja, tijekom kuhanja su se opustile i uživale u zajedničkom radu, kamere su bile zaboravljene. 

Dok je Viktorija sa Sandyem snimala svoj recept, Sebahat i ja smo na strani pričale. Pitala sam ju da malo kaže o sebi, receptu koji će raditi i o tome što misli o Zero Waste projektu i kako može Zero Waste iskoristiti u svojem kuhanju.

Sebahat mi kaže kako joj se Zero Waste projekt sviđa, jer ostaje manje količine otpada nakon kuhanja. Čini mi se kako je čak i ovako mlada osoba već svjesna toga da prvo krećemo od sebe i svojih ostataka. Voli kuhati što ju opušta i zanimljiv joj je cijeli proces kuhanja. Njezin recept će biti Popečci (vegetarijanska i zdrava verzija sa krumpirom i špinatom). Radila ga je već nekoliko puta i naglasila je kako je fino ali dosta komplicirano za raditi, što ju čini nervoznom jer će to sada morati raditi i pred kamerama. No i uz sav taj strah čini mi se kako je uzbuđena i jedva čeka pokazati svoje znanje i kreativnost u kuhinji.

Prvi dan snimanja prošao je tako brzo da nisam stigla ni shvatiti što radimo u ovako kratkom vremenu, no dok pišem sada ovaj članak došlo mi je do glave kako radimo nešto jako važno. Očuvanje našeg planeta leži u rukama i receptima ovih mladih ljudi koji će buduće naraštaje naučiti važnosti kuhanja sa što manje otpada. Veselimo se sljedećem danu snimanja i avanturama koje slijede.  

 

The beginning of the first day of shooting was interesting, as much as I wanted to be on time, the weather itself did not want it. It's raining, there's a strong north wind, nobody knows how to drive and I'm running late.

Before we started, we got coffee and food to relax. Everyone is happy and eager to shoot. It's interesting to see how well everyone gets along. The recording starts, the first turn is the Slovenian students who traveled from Celje to us to share their recipes, record and socialize a bit with our project participants.

 

 

 

The Zero Waste project seems interesting, so we asked Luka to tell us more about it. Luka explained to us how happy he is to be able to help animals and people by throwing less garbage while cooking. His recipe will be orzoto with porcini mushrooms, and he intends to use everything in other containers such as glass containers instead of plastic in order to use as few plastic containers as possible that destroy the environment. Although Luka is not so sure if he will help people right away, he seems happy that maybe he can at least help nature and people himself so that future generations will have a more peaceful life.

After our friends from Slovenia recorded their recipes, it was Viktorija's turn. She made baskets filled with cream. Along with Viktorija, Sandy, our head chef, who helped with cooking, and Viktorija's friend Sebahat were there. They were very nervous before filming, while cooking they relaxed and enjoyed working together, the cameras were forgotten.

While Viktorija was recording her recipe with Sandy, Sebahat and I were talking on the side. I asked her to tell a little about herself, the recipe she will be making and what she thinks about the Zero Waste project and how she can use Zero Waste in her cooking.

Sebahat tells me that she likes the Zero Waste project, because there is less waste left after cooking. It seems to me that even such a young person is already aware that we start from ourselves and our remains first. She likes to cook, which relaxes her, and she finds the whole cooking process interesting. Her recipe will be Popečci (vegetarian and healthy version with potatoes and spinach). She has already done it several times and emphasized that it is nice but quite complicated to do, which makes her nervous because now she will have to do it in front of the cameras. But even with all that fear, it seems to me that she is excited and can't wait to show her knowledge and creativity in the kitchen.

The first day of filming passed so quickly that I didn't even realize what we were doing in such a short time, but while I'm writing this article now, it occurred to me that we are doing something very important. The preservation of our planet lies in the hands and recipes of these young people who will teach future generations the importance of cooking with as little waste as possible. We look forward to the next day of filming and the adventures that follow.
