Chef Nancy and Chef Shenarri share their experiences in the food industry and how they reduce food waste in their cooking and restaurants .
The HRN Radio Scholars Program offers high school students the opportunity to learn reporting techniques from conducting interviews and connecting with industry professionals, to script writing and how to use audio equipment. HRN collaborated with the Food Education Fund to create The Pass the Spatula Podcast. Pass the Spatula is a student-run, food-based magazine made by students working with the Food Education Fund in New York City. The theme of the fifth edition, SCRAPS, focuses on food waste and expanding on what the word “scrappy” means in the food industry.
