Don't trash our Future

Love Food, Hate Waste


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!!


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

We asked our Bartender Tom what "At-Home Bartenders" do wrong?
"You see a lot of people shaking cocktails that should be stirred; like a Manhattan or a Negroni. Simple mistakes, but will make a world of difference when made correctly."
