Cookware brand HexClad has partnered with Food For Soul, the nonprofit organisation founded by Chef Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore, in a three-year global initiative aimed at combating food waste, building community, and promoting thoughtful cooking.
Since its inception in Milan during Expo 2015, Food For Soul has redefined how surplus food is served. With a worldwide network of 12 Refettorio kitchens located in cities such as Sydney, Harlem, London, and San Francisco, the organisation transforms rescued, high-quality ingredients into beautiful, nourishing meals.
In addition to supporting Refettorio kitchens, HexClad will make significant efforts to raise awareness of Food for Soul’s mission globally.
As part of this collaboration, HexClad will provide its durable hybrid cookware and culinary tools to support Refettorio kitchens worldwide, enabling the easy and efficient creation of restaurant-quality dishes from rescued produce.
“We believe great cooking can have an impact beyond the kitchen,” said Daniel Winer, CEO and co-founder of HexClad. “This partnership is about supporting a proven model that transforms surplus ingredients into exceptional meals while creating spaces where people feel welcomed and valued.”
HexClad is committed to providing financial support, driving community advocacy, and engaging its global network of chefs, creators, and home cooks to volunteer and advocate for the cause.
By sharing stories of resourcefulness, mindful cooking, and sustainable hospitality, the partnership aims to inspire everyday home cooks to view their own kitchens with a more conscious perspective.
“Food has the power to bring people together,” shared Lara Gilmore, founder and president of Food For Soul.
“With HexClad’s support, we strengthen the capacity of our Refettorio partners, helping them nourish more communities and demonstrate hospitality as a means of care and connection towards social change.”
