Love Food, Hate Waste

Have just found this great website, which I just had to share. With two small children and a very hectic home and work life, I am always looking for quick and easy but nourishing meals that will appeal to everyone.

Love Food, Hate Waste is a website dedicated to reducing food waste. Shockingly, around a third of the food we buy ends up being thrown away, which not only is a waste of money and resources but has serious environmental implications as well. Whilst I do try hard to only buy what we need and use what we buy, I know I could be doing better. This site has great tips and ideas on how to reduce your food bill and also has some really useful tools to help with meal planning and shopping lists. It also has help on how to measure the correct portion size, depending on who's coming to dinner and information on storing your food correctly.

I particularly like the recipes section and ideas of what to do with left overs. You simply select the food that you have leftovers of and a choice of different recipe ideas are given.

Mmm...Spanish Potato Tortilla for supper tonight!
