Here at deTour Café by Twins Kitchen, what meant to be in the bin will goes on your plate again.

In today’s food world, we are wasting around one third of our food consumption every year. This figure is very alarming when we look at the world’s serious hunger problem and food crisis. That’s why we believe in the importance of changing the food ecosystem by reducing wastage through innovative and creative alternatives.

In this experimental project, we prepare some of our dishes from the waste we usually have in a café, like steamed milk, brewed coffee ground and roasted leftover. Instead of throwing them away, we choose to up-cycle them and make them edible again.

By creating an interactive and innovative experience with food design, we demonstrate the creation of delicious and playful dishes without wasting our produces. We can even up-cycle some of the otherwise “wasted” produce!
