I’m very excited to be running an online cooking demo today for a client who wants their staff to learn all about how to stop wasting food, and clever ways to cook with a “use up” approach. Domestic food waste accounts for 70% of all waste in the UK. Its not the big hotels, restaurants, manufacturers or supermarkets...its us! We throw away 4.5 million tonnes of food each year worth £14 billion (about £700 ave wasted per family). That can make up to 10 billion edible meals! So, I have emptied my fridge of bits and pieces and designed a 3 course sustainability menu. More later...

I am so thrilled to have partnered with Mensch on this Mandela Day cook-along initiative to feed hungry families in SA. We exceeded our expectations and together raised a whopping (just under) £6000 (R125000), which is just amazing! The beneficiary charities will be able to feed almost 3000 people with the funds raised. H18 Foundation Envirochild Union of Jewish Women Cape Town Souper Troopers

-Mexican (e.g. chilli con carne/chicken Fajitas, guacamole, salsa, grilled cheesy nachos)
-Thai (e.g. Green Thai curry, jasmine rice, pad thai, springrolls)
-Asian (e.g. Poke bowls and sushi rolls)
-Italian (e.g. Homemade Pizza or Pasta)
-Soup and Bread (e.g. Minestrone and Irish Soda Bread, Creamy Tomato & Basil soup with Rosemary focaccia and many other types of soup)
-BBQ Salads and Marinades
