Talking about reducing food waste and making delicious Fruit and Yoghurt Pots, layered with granola and a drizzle of honey on the top. A simple but delicious way to use up all those berries, peaches, apples and bananas sitting in your fruit bowl.
Thank you everyone who came and made a pot to take home. The next library is Ely on the 25 August at 10am.
