Abstract

Reducing the environmental impact of current food production and consumption practices is a significant challenge for a more sustainable future. Even though previous HCI studies illustrated that design interventions could support more sustainable food practices in domestic contexts, little attention has been given to hospitality contexts (e.g., restaurants). Addressing this gap, we first investigated food preparation practices in restaurants (i.e., how recipes, menus and meals are prepared) through interviews with 10 chefs and instructors of culinary arts. Then, we designed KNOBIE, a design intervention aimed at supporting chefs' sustainable food preparation practices through better recipe and menu planning. In this paper, we present the results of these interviews, KNOBIE as a concept to support sustainable recipe planning and how interviews guided its design.
