SUSTAINABILITY SOUTH LAWN MARKET SERIES: THE AMERICAN CLUB HONG KONG

Plus, two Food Made Good Members and leading Hong Kong based hydroponic farms Sustenir Agriculture and AquaGreen, demonstrated how hydroponic produce is great for the environment due to its vastly low carbon emissions. Since it is also pandemic resistant and water and space efficient method of food growing, it makes for a more environmentally conscious, productive and time-efficient supply chain. Sustenir Agriculture generously gave out packs of fresh tuscan and curly kale to guests, while AquaGreen treated us to a workshop, inviting participants to use fresh salad greens to make panini sandwiches.

ONE PLANET PLATE – WHITE RADISH AND CLAM SOUP WORKSHOP BY CHEF SHELDON FONSECA FROM THE MIRAMAR GROUP

Furthermore, members of the American Club had the privilege of attending a sustainable white radish and clam soup workshop, led by our Member Chef Sheldon Fonseca of The Miramar Group. Using fresh ingredients such as locally sourced little-neck clams, white radish, ginger and thyme, the soup was a flavourful delight! Chef Sheldon’s culinary forays are unparalleled – the pickled radish and the floral notes of the saffron added a refreshing zest to the creamy clam soup.

Chef Sheldon also piqued the interest of our younger audience and received keen questions from children asking where and how certain ingredients were obtained. It was great to see how values such as the importance of fresh and seasonal foods and quality local sourcing could inspire the younger generations! Events such as these play an important role in making big community steps towards a positive future for our planet. Thanks again to all the Food Made Good Members who joined us and a big thank you to Cookie Smiles and The American Club Foundation for helping us put together this amazing opportunity!
