Sibel Cuniman Pinto – February 2022

Sibel Cuniman Pinto speaks at February's Après-Midi

Sibel Pinto – Chef, Author, Wasteless Kitchen Consultant

Chef and Author of Kashkarikas: Wasteless Kitchen, a Turkish-Sephardi Chef’s Recipes and Stories, Sibel Cuniman Pinto, enlightened us on how to clean up our own kitchens by wasting nothing!

Sibel is a chef, culinary instructor, researcher, author, and lecturer specialized in Sephardi, Turkish and Mediterranean cuisines who I have known for about 20 years. As a WorldChefs certified ‘Sustainability Education to Culinary Professionals’ and Agro Tech Paris certified Food Waste Prevention trainer, food waste activist, coach and consultant, she teaches how to give a ‘second life’ to ingredients, using the root-to-leaf approach. She works to raise awareness in food waste reduction and sustainable and conscious kitchens. She educates and inspires people to eat real food.

Sibel talked about her international initiative to raise awareness on food waste and presented her latest book. The cookbook is packed with 222 colorful, delicious and wasteless recipes inspired from her Sephardic and Turkish roots. She gives easy and practical tips on how to cook tasty, diverse, healthy and creative food and to have a more sustainable kitchen. It’s a beautiful book and a great gift for someone who wants to make even a small difference in the world!

Her international charity mission Action Kashkarikas, launched in 2016, collects funds which are donated to the children of the world who fight against hunger and malnutrition. She has traveled the world running food education workshops, attending conferences, panels and symposiums and lecturing on waste-free kitchens, sustainable food systems, and culinary traditions at workplaces, libraries, community events, festivals, food banks, schools, universities, and associations. She is been interviewed on radio, on TV, for print articles, online sites and videos.

Born in Istanbul, Turkey, Pinto holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, majoring in Marketing and Finance from Boğaziçi University, Istanbul. Arriving in Paris, Pinto studied at the world-famous Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts and Hospitality Institute and received her post-graduate diploma HEG in Advanced Studies on Taste, Gastronomy, and the Arts of the Table from the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne in France.

In an informative PowerPoint presentation, she held our interest for about an hour with lots of questions at the end. Her international charity mission, Action Kashkarikas launched in 2016, collects funds which are donated to the children of the world who fight against hunger and malnutrition. She has traveled the world running food education workshops, attending conferences, panels and symposiums and lecturing on waste-free kitchens, sustainable food systems, and culinary traditions at workplaces, libraries, community events, festivals, food banks, schools, universities, and associations. She is been interviewed on radio, on TV, for print articles, online sites and videos and inspired us all to do our part and take some action.

For the first time, we attempted to record the session. We were not successful getting a microphone set up correctly, so we apologize for the technical difficulty and the quality of the sound, but at least you don’t have to miss a single word. (Next time we hope to do better!)

Here it is, live from Paris! So, Enjoy!
