No Waste Food Challenge June 2015

No Waste Food Challenge – the June 2015 Recipe Collection

Published on July 18, 2015 • Last updated July 22, 2017 by Elizabeth Atia

Reducing food waste one recipe at a time.

No Waste Food Challenge June 2015

Food waste – we all do it. We don’t want to do it, but sometimes it just happens. We succumb to those buy three for the price of two offers at the supermarket, eat one and end up throwing the other two away because they’ve gone off. We make far too much for a meal, don’t fancy leftovers and end up throwing the remains away. We forget that we bought that aubergine lurking in the bottom of the vegetable crisper, or that one third full tub of cream.

In 2012 Kate over at Turquoise Lemons set up the No Waste Food Challenge in a bid to help prevent food waste in our own kitchens. In 2014 I took over her very successful blogging challenge, and each month food bloggers around the world share the recipes they’ve made with food which otherwise might have ended up in the bin.

Each month I do a round up of all the entries received, including social media sharing across Twitter, Pinterest and Stumble Upon. Last month there were 19 gorgeous, mouthwatering dishes shared, so pull up a seat and feast your eyes!

If you are inspired you will find the latest No Waste Food Challenge linky at the bottom of this page, or you can read the full rules and find the linky on the official No Waste Food Challenge page.

    Oh what a lovely lot of entries this month Elizabeth. I started wandering if there was anything in the biscuit tin when I got to picture too and was very disappointed to remember it was EMPTY. I hate waste with a passion, but even I have to throw the odd thing out – so frustrating. Thanks for the round-up.
