Kitchen & Bakery

in the SKILLS FACTORY on Samos

One of the most important and popular departments is our kitchen. Every day our international team prepares nutritious and wholesome food for the people in the camp.

In our bakery, bakers from all over the world process local ingredients into nutritious breads, tasty pastries or cake creations for special occasions. 

Our work in the kitchen & bakery includes:

  • Daily preparation of fresh meals (including menu planning and budget) for all team members and their relatives in the camp (approx. 40 - 50 people)
  • Daily preparation of baked goods for an average of 20-30 people (breads, cakes, biscuits, cereal bars, special occasion cakes, etc.)
  • Work training for the catering trade
  • Exchange of recipes and professional knowledge from all over the world
  • Utilization and conservation of local products (especially when the harvest arrives)

Department Sponsoring

Over the past year, Greece has faced severe inflation, which has led in particular to a sharp rise in food prices. In order to continue to operate our kitchen and to prepare fresh and varied dishes every day, we depend on donations and the support of our sponsors. 

We pay particular attention to using vegetables from our own garden and sourcing all other produce from local markets whenever possible. In this way we want to actively support local agriculture and small family businesses while ensuring that we use fresh and quality ingredients in our kitchen.

Since the summer of 2023, the kitchen and bakery department has been generously sponsored by our partner #leavenoonebehind. We are extremely happy and grateful for this support and look forward to collaborating together. Together we can make a positive difference and ensure no one is left behind.
