The Importance of Sustainable Catering in Indian Weddings
Weddings are grand affairs in India and a very important milestone in an individual’s life. They are culturally significant by nature and have a number of religious ceremonies associated with them. Not only is there a cultural significance, there is also grand preparation and economic investment involved with any wedding. A wedding is a formalization of the relationship between two families and helps create a strong bond.
Food is an important component of Indian weddings. Serving guests is equivalent to serving God and the strong concept of Athithi Devo Bhava is embedded in the Indian consciousness. Certain food items are closely related to the rituals as well. An Indian wedding is spread over a few days and after each ritual, there is a feast/some dining involved.
At the same time, sustainability should also play an important role in weddings.
It is important that the wedding caterer can correctly judge the food required to ensure minimal wastage. As the best wedding cater in Chennai, Kasikannu Catering World has an exclusive central kitchen and we can manage the food requirements effectively and also cater to multiple events. Thus, food wastage is reduced.
The use of cutlery also plays an important role in ensuring sustainability. The numerous dishes served often come in single-use plastic and styrofoam plates and cups. By using biodegradable or reusable alternatives like steel dishes and bamboo/corn starch cutlery one can contribute to a better and healthier planet. Use of leaf bowls, and wooden or metal cutlery also adds elegance and an aesthetic touch to the wedding.
Cooking is an intensive process and involves the use of heat. By using energy efficient appliances and proper cooking methods, one can achieve sustainability. One should always prefer steaming to boiling not only from the perspective of energy efficiency, but also from the perspective of preserving nutrients.
Similarly, transport of the food to the location of the event also contributes to carbon emissions. Cooking food at the venue or having a close central kitchen can significantly reduce the carbon food print.
Another important aspect to consider is sourcing. Sustainable catering will always focus on the use of locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. This not only reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting food over long distances but also supports local farmers and promotes regional cuisines. Further, if one joins hands with farmers practicing sustainable practices, vendors and other related stakeholders, then it kickstarts a cycle of positivity and amplifies the impact made.
Recycling is also an important component. It involves waste segregation and also passing the waste onto the right hands for better handling. Sustainable catering is good for the environment, the community and future generations and must be practiced by all.
