The Too Good To Go application, born in 2015 in Denmark with the aim of combating food waste and present today in 15 countries, has recently launched an initiative to raise awareness against waste that, inevitably, marks the period of holiday season. In fact, we know well how during these days purchases and gifts of food increase considerably: food is a pleasure, but also a “consolation”, especially in moments such as those we are experiencing. On the other hand, however, the statistics are merciless: in fact, it is estimated that in Italy about 500,000 tons of food are wasted only during the Christmas period, equal to a cost per family of 80 euros *. Too Good To Go has decided to launch the campaign "Make Christmas last longer", which is also and above all an invitation to pay attention to leftovers and excess food, to share it whenever possible, freeze it, store it and reuse it, through creative recipes, small tricks and tricks, so as to limit as much as possible the waste of food and resources. Among the most interesting suggestions, those concerning one of the most delicious foods: chocolate. Therefore, it is suggested not to forget the chocolate in the pantry and inevitably let it expire, to create alternative recipes with chocolates and bars, to prepare a steaming hot chocolate in a cup. And to conclude with a flourish, here is a recipe from a real expert on the subject, the pastry chef and maître chocolatier Ernst Knam: the anti-waste panettone and nougat mousse. Happy Holidays and good appetite!
