Designing Food Systems that Waste less and work better.
Tobie Puttock
Chef | Author | Sustainability Advocate | Food Systems Innovator
I help chefs and food businesses design waste out of their kitchens — without adding workload or complexity.
Through practical systems, whole-ingredient thinking, and real-world experience, I work with teams to reduce waste, improve margins, and build kitchens that actually run better day to day.
This isn’t about perfection or greenwashing.
It’s about smarter systems that make sustainability make sense.
