Love Food, Hate Waste

Love Food, Hate Waste


We are big fans of The Love Food Hate Waste campaign and we are happy to be part of it by sending our chefs to give cooking classes and demonstrations, providing recipes for using up leftovers and handy tips and advice to help all of us waste less food.

We throw away 7.2 million tons of food every year, it's not just about good food going to waste, it's about saving money, up to £50 per month and helping reduce serious environmental implications. If we stop throwing food that can be eaten, it would have the same carbon impact as taking 1 of 5 cars off the roads.

So lets start doing something about it!! and please forward this to a friend.
Some Useful Tips For Making The Most Of The Food You Buy


Stock

When making a soup keep the ends and the skin of the carrots, onions, celery, peppers and the roots of the parsley to make a tasty stock.

Blanching

Before the broccoli, cauliflower, sweet-corn or spinach goes off, blanch them quickly in boiling water and freeze for a later date.

Herbs

You can blend all your herbs with olive oil, garlic and pine nuts, and use it for a sauce for pasta or just to put it in your sandwich.....Delicious
