Welcome back to Leftovers. I’ve been away for the past couple of weeks on my Europe book tour. I’ve travelled across the UK from London to Bath to St. Andrews and Edinburgh in Scotland whilst hosting cooking demonstrations and signing hundreds of books. Next week, I’m visiting Amsterdam and then I’ll head off to Berlin at the end of the month.
Stop Food Waste Day
Today is an important today for food because it’s Stop Food Waste Day - which we all should get behind. We all have wasted food before or maybe we still do (no judgement). It can be difficult and challenging at times to manage, but food waste is not only hurting our pockets, it’s hurting the planet too.
Over the past 5 1/2 years I’ve made it my mission to help others reduce their food waste from our homes to businesses. The one thing I ask of you today is to make a personal pledge - whether you live on your own or with friends and family - to reduce food waste one ingredient at a time.
5 Foods To Save
I recently wrote a piece for The Guardian where I share my top tips to waste less food and how you can save time and money!
The average UK household wastes roughly £730 of untouched food. The average US household wastes roughly $1500 of untouched food. What would you do if you had an extra £730 or $1500?
