"Our house is on fire."

Last month was the hottest June ever recorded on Earth.

In January, young Greta Thunberg delivered a speech to business leaders from around the world. She

said, "Adults keep saying, 'We owe it to the young people to give them hope.' But I don’t want your

hope. I don’t want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day.

And then I want you to act. I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if the

house was on fire. Because it is."

Hope without action is useless. What can you do to help? Join us. See what Worldchefs are doing around

the globe and learn how to get involved below.

young people leaving orphanages have

begun their journey towards a culinary

career. In August, they will graduate with

renewed possibilities for a better future, and join

Thank you to Chef Vojto Artz and Zuzana Dúžekov of the Slovak Chefs Assocation for

translating and sharing recipes from your zero waste cookbook "To The Last Crumb." Check

out this month's recipe below!

Pasta Frittata with Bacon, Spinach and Balkan Cheese

If you have to cook in the "what’s left in the house“ style, frittata is the ideal way to empty your

refrigerator. Pasta doesn’t necessarily have to be a part, however, thanks to it the meal becomes

richer. Of course, it can be replaced with eggs.

Quantity: for 4 persons

Time of preparation: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

250g cooked pasta (i.e. 90g of dry pasta)

8 eggs

100g English bacon, cut in stripes

100g Balkan cheese or Feta

160g fresh spinach

50g frozen peas

3 spring onions, cut finely

black pepper

olive oil

1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation: Warm the oven to 210°C. Roast the bacon in a pan with fireproof handle and put it aside.

Now fry the spring onion in the fat that remained in the pan. Then add the spinach leaves cut to wider

stripes and leave them to wilt. In a big bowl mix the roasted bacon, spinach, pasta, peas and the

cheese crushed to small pieces. In another bowl, stir the eggs, season them with black pepper and salt

– if the cheese is very salty, it’s necessary to be careful with salt. Pour the egg mixture into the pasta,

stir, and put back into the pan. Roast at mild temperature for 8 –10 minutes, then put the pan into the

oven and bake for another 10 minutes, until the eggs become stiff and the surface is golden.

Vojto advises: Frittata is an amazing invention of Italian cuisine. Roasted egg omelette into which you

can add many other ingredients is excellent for weekend breakfast, but mainly as an alternative when

you want to prepare dinner and forgot to go shopping. My favorite is one with potatoes, cheese and

spinach.

Lucia advises: The composition of your frittata can vary according to what’s in your refrigerator. You

can add any vegetables –blanched broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, sweet corn, beans pods, roasted

spring onion, leek, paprika or steamed spinach, or even just garlic. You can season it with any herbs

you currently have at hand. Balkan cheese can be exchanged with grated Swiss cheese, cheddar,

eidam cheese, parmiggiano, mozzarella or goat cheese. Smoked meat products can find their place in

frittata too – you can use ham, prosciutto, salami, sausages or bacon. If you don’t want to put pasta in

your frittata, you can replace the above quantity of pasta with 5 eggs.
