La Rivoluzione Plant-Based nella Cucina e Pasticceria: Formarsi con Congusto Institute

The Plant-Based Revolution in Cooking and Pastry: Training with Congusto Institute

In recent years, plant-based cuisine and pastry are revolutionizing the global gastronomic landscape. This is not just a passing trend, but a profound transformation that responds to a growing sensitivity towards environmental sustainability, health and ethics. Congusto Institute is at the forefront of responding to this evolution, offering future professionals in the kitchen and pastry sector a complete and innovative training.

Why is plant-based cooking the future?

Market research shows that over 70% of young people between 18 and 25 prefer plant-based options when possible. The reason? To reduce environmental impact, improve health and support a more ethical food system.

Faced with this growing demand, restaurants and bakeries must adapt, offering menus rich in plant-based options, without compromising taste, creativity and quality. Plant-based cuisine is not a limitation, but an opportunity to innovate and create memorable dishes.
