Claire Ratinon
Food, Love & Double Rainbows
What we eat is one of the most important decisions we make every day. It connects us to each other, our culture, and ultimately to nature, shaping the world we live in. We depend on food to survive, but it goes deeper than that; It gives us pleasure, stirring memories and feeding emotions. Organic urban grower and writer, Claire Ratinon explains why growing food is not only a way to feed ourselves, but also a way to connect more deeply with those around us and the world we live in.

Doug McMaster
Cooking, Connection & Being Bin-less
How do you build a world-class restaurant without a bin? And why would you? Doug McMaster, world-renowned chef and zero waste champion shares his story; how an abstract conversation with an artist transformed the way he thought about food, flavour and creativity. Why history has much to teach us about flavour, and how we can all rethink how we eat as a way to bring us closer to each other, and what we can do to work towards becoming zero-waste at home.
