Bringing together Sodexo’s brand promise and culinary expertise in a progressive initiative towards promoting sustainable eating practices, Sodexo India, Stop Hunger and Sulabh International Centre for Action Sociology (SICAS) introduce ‘A Twist of Tradition’, a cookbook that embodies our mission to improve the quality of life of those we serve and contribute to the development of the communities we operate in. This culinary gem was unveiled at the hands of Sophie Bellon, Chairwoman of Board of Director & CEO, Sodexo Group along with Anna Notarianni, Group Chief Impact Officer at Sodexo in the presence of our NGO partners, women beneficiaries, and Sodexo employees. 

The book embodies an innovative collection of plant-based recipes that are the epitome of sustainability and women’s empowerment. Through collaborative efforts, numerous women from the villages of Sangamner and Ahmednagar, Maharashtra have been trained in farming techniques and encouraged to grow their own crops, feed their families and be financially independent thus empowering them with a sustainable livelihood.
