  • Stop Food Waste Day – Free Cookbook Available!

    Next Wednesday (30 April 2025) marks Stop Food Waste Day, a great reminder to think about how we can reduce waste in our kitchens and make the most of what we have.

    To support this, there’s a free cookbook available that’s full of brilliant recipes designed to give a second life to commonly wasted ingredients like stale bread, bruised fruit and veg, and even discarded peels.
