Today is Stop Food Waste Day #stopfoodwasteday, a perfect moment to honour the old-fashioned wisdom that nothing good should ever go to waste. In times past, the kitchen was a place of thrift, care, and good sense, so here are just a few timeless ways to waste less and make the most of what you’ve got:
ㅤ
🍞 Save Your Bread
Stale bread needn’t be thrown away - blitz it into breadcrumbs for treacle tarts or toast into golden croutons. It's also ideal for bread-and-butter pudding or add the breadcrumbs into your stuffing mix for your Sunday roast. We’ve got plenty of tasty ideas for using up bread on our website.
ㅤ
🍲 Stock Up
Gather vegetable peelings, herb stalks and onion skins in the freezer. When you’ve enough, simmer them into a rich, hearty stock – perfect as the base for soups, stews, and all manner of meals.
ㅤ
🥕 Love Your Leftovers
Roast up leftover vegetables with a little oil and seasoning for a simple rustic supper, or why not turn any leftover meats into a hearty pie? Freezing small portions of leftover soup or stews are great for easy meals on busy days
ㅤ
🍏 Use What You Have
Soft fruits can be saved to become delicious compotes, carrots and apples can be turned turn into cakes and fritters, and weary herbs can be used to make a fresh pesto.
ㅤ
📝 Plan to Waste Less
A little planning goes a long way. A simple meal plan and a thoughtful shopping list can save more than you might imagine. Shop only for what you need for the week ahead and build your meals around what’s already in your larder, fridge, and garden.
