Gourmet Guide Jenny Handley presents a series of enlightening chats with Pavs Pillay, Environmental Behaviour Specialist for WWF-SASSI.

The JHP Gourmet Guide™ has once again partnered with WWF-SASSI to award the Haute Performance Green Philosophy Plate in the 2025 guide. This ongoing collaboration supports our shared belief that it is a chef’s responsibility to source ingredients as sustainably as possible, especially when it comes to seafood.

We know chefs are busy creative people, so we hope you’ll dip into these short podcasts while prepping, driving or plating up!

 

Up for discussion in each podcast:

  1. How can choosing the right seafood help protect our oceans for future generations?
  2. How can accurate seafood labelling on menus help chefs support sustainability and protect their diners’ trust?
  3. How does knowing where, how, and when seafood is caught help chefs make more sustainable choices?
  4. Should chefs be planning menus around the natural seasons of seafood the way they do with fruit and veg?
  5. beyond’s head chef and 2025 Green Philosophy Plate winner, Sebastian Stehr, shares how a foraged philosophy, indigenous gardens, and low-waste practices have made sustainability second nature, both in the kitchen and at home.
