OUR FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY:
THE POWER OF EDUCATION
Did you know that food waste represents 8% of global emissions?
Education has the power to change the way we cook, recycle, and shop. During each and every IMPASTIAMO class, our chefs are trained to share useful tips and tricks to combat food waste at home. repurpose food leftovers and shop smart.
Change starts in our own kitchens.
Together, we can make a difference.

–Stephen Brooks (After a Corporate Cooking Class)
Ingredients Kits with Low Impact
We're able to create and deliver ingredients kits to your guests' homes, pretty much anywhere! And where we can't, our partners will.
We make an effort to source local food, prioritizing small community coops and local farmers, and avoid shipping where we can. Where we absolutely cannot, we will offset our carbon footprint via UPS carbon neutral program.
All our packaging is recyclable or reusable. Even our boxes can make a sweet container in the house!
We are far from perfect, but we sure are aware of the global climate emergency our planet is facing and make a proactive effort to have the least impact on the environment and operate locally.
By supporting us, you’ll be giving an opportunity to those whose work has been affected by the pandemic. From the chef to the driver… and for that we thank you.
