Students create sustainable cookbook for a good cause!
Students create sustainable cookbook for a good cause!
Österreich - On April 30, 2025, students from the higher school (HLW) present their latest project: the cookbook "Tradition meets pleasure". This ambitious undertaking came from the creative cooperation of the entire class and pursues the goal of developing a sustainable product. Since the school has a gastronomic focus, the students decided to implement the project independently. Old recipes were researched and compiled in order to combine tradition and enjoyment in an appealing format. The proceeds from the sale of the cookbook should be partially donated to the Red Cross, whereby 50 cents will benefit the dementia and visiting service. Maria Ronacher and Johanna Jost from the class support this fundraiser with full commitment.
Various topics were dealt with in the last meetings of dementia and visiting service, including the presentation of the cookbook. The next meeting in May will be an “Africa afternoon” presented by Brigitte Brandmüller. Erika Ebner, the consultant of the visiting service, takes the opportunity to thank her team and at the same time seek volunteers to support the visiting service. In one of the last meetings, she prepared a Reindling, which was tasted by those present.awareness of food protection
Another important aspect of sustainability is shown in initiatives that promote awareness of the value of food and counteract food waste. An example of this is the “cookbook of sustainability”, published by Sam Lower Austria and the Red Cross Lower Austria, which the Ministry of Agriculture as part of the “Food is precious!” is supported. It offers tips and recipe ideas for processing not very fresh food and highlights the valuable resources in food: soil, water, energy and human work.
The main goal of the cookbook is to strengthen the careful handling of food and the contribution to reducing food waste. With this project, the initiators would like to raise awareness of the importance of food safety and offer practical instructions for the processing of food.
Sustainable recipes in focus
In addition to these efforts, there is enjoyment! It contains a total of 68 sustainable recipes that are easy to cook and prefer to use seasonal products from the region. The climate balance is determined for each main course, and there are so -called “remaining devices” for many dishes, which enable the use of remaining food. International courts are also represented, which takes into account the culinary diversity.The cooking book that appears in the practical DIN A5 format with 100 pages was produced climate-neutral and printed on 100 % FSC-certified recycled paper. The CO2 emissions of production were compensated for by supporting a climate project in Ghana, which promotes efficient cooking stoves that need less fuel. The entire production takes place with green electricity and biofolar based on vegetable oils.
Sustainability and a responsible handling of foods are topics that are becoming increasingly important today. The initiatives taken by students, associations and ministries create awareness of these important aspects of our nutrition and our resources and contribute to the fact that tradition and enjoyment merge in a sustainable way.
