Ccori means ‘gold’ in Quechua, the indigenous language of Peru and the Andes.

Chef @palmiroocampo shares how his father inspired his optimal cuisine food philosophy, reminding us to honour every part of an ingredient and the ecosystems they come from. He explains how, by valuing the ...whole ingredient, we discover the full potential of both the dish and ourselves. This can act as a roadmap to transforming our food systems.🌍

“It depends on us, in our minds and hands, if we use it to create or destroy. Every part of the ingredient represents something, and you need to discover that in your way, with your techniques.”

Chefs like Palmiro play a vital role to play as storytellers and stewards, helping bring ancestral knowledge, sustainability, and respect to the table. Let us know how you do the same in the comments below!💬

Chef Palmiro takes Taste of London! 👨‍🍳 “Nothing Wasted, Everything Honoured: Optimal Cooking to Rediscover Value”

Have you heard of Cocina Óptima? 👀Chef @palmiroocampo took the opportunity at his Taste of London sessions to share the philosophy behind this cooking method ...rooted in sustainability, flavour, and full ingredient usage. ♻️

Through stories and food, he introduced Peruvian underused ingredients to explain how honouring every part of the food can transform nutrition and reduce waste.

He made a pea toast, using the whole snap pea, together with sustainably sourced mackerel bones from @fish4ever_recipes for increased nutrition, along with flowers he had picked from @OmVedGardens. 🫛

It was incredible to see how this session invited guests to rethink value in the kitchen, using creativity and cultural knowledge to shape a more responsible future for food!🙌
