For National Seafood Month we’re examining the issue of waste in the seafood supply chain while providing some helpful tips and tricks for how you can purchase and prepare the most sustainable seafood possible. 

Consumers have a powerful role to play in supporting sustainable, less wasteful fisheries, and we’re here to help guide you. In fact, we’ve created a “grocery guide” to help you identify the best seafood to purchase the next time you’re at the store. 

In an era when ocean habitats are experiencing stress due to climate change, pollution, and overfishing, it’s more important than ever to ensure that the seafood we buy is both sustainable (see our shopping guide) and not wasted once it reaches our home kitchens.

It’s Fair Trade month, and we’re recognizing the importance of Fair Trade and other certifications in creating lasting, systemic change in the food system.

In 2015, Bon Appétit became the first food service company to commit to sourcing 100% Fair Trade Certified tea in our cafés. We partnered with Oakland, CA based Numi Tea to make this commitment a reality.  

In celebration of our 17th annual Eat Local Challenge, our chefs sourced a diverse array of ingredients from farmers, fishers, and makers, crafting 100% local (with the exception of salt) meals for guests.

The Bon Appétit at Adobe San Jose team recently held a hands-on safety training to complement their existing safety curriculum.

This Chef Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating the people who put in long hours, going the extra mile to put a smile on a guest’s face, or coaching a team member through a challenging task.

I like eating watermelons just as they are, but they are also great in salads and beverages. Here are some watermelon recipes to enjoy during your carefree summer days.

To celebrate these last days of summer, I would like to share a recipe for the peach dessert we enjoyed during our gathering. I hope you get to enjoy it on a sunny day, with someone you think is a peach.
