By guest blogger ALISON MAUDSLEY, Cooking Leader
Our session in partnership with Love Food Hate Waste at the Inspire Community Centre Levenshulme earlier this week involved cooking a yummy vegetable and lentil curry
with rice, with a focus on reducing food waste at home. The free session was
attended by 18 people from the local area who all wanted to learn some
new cooking skills and share handy hints and tips on their own ways of
reducing food waste, such as: cooking in bulk and freezing, eating the
leaves on a cauliflower as cabbage (a personal favourite), using the
grey caddy bin and food liners for all compostable items (see link),
freezing herbs and vegetables, sticking to your budget, only buying
what you need, and planning meals in advance. Once it was all cooked, we sat around together
and ate the wonderful curry before everyone headed home with leftovers!
