Helping to reduce food waste one recipe at a time.

No Waste Food Challenge logo 2b

The No Waste Food Challenge is a food blogging linky inviting bloggers from around the world to share the recipes they have created using ingredients which may have otherwise ended up in the compost heap or landfill.

Last month we had sixteen fantastic entries for recipes using up over ripe bananas to over ripe tomatoes and to the last little bit of sponge cake sitting around uneaten.

Thank you to every one who participated, and if you are inspired to join in you can find the linky on the official No Waste Food Challenge page.

    I always love the creativity that people find to use up leftovers and food that needs to be kept out of the bin! There are some lovely recipes here….. I have a weak spot for risotto balls however…… I really should try that one!

    That triple chocolate cake looks amazing. I was wondering what cake to make for Easter, and it might have to be that one.

    The savoury bread bake has intrigued me, I’ve never thought of doing that! And I love noodle soups for using up leftovers in the fridge.

    Bookmarked! I’m trying to save money so this is perfect. I admit, I throw away a lot of veg when if I knew how to cook it up I’m sure it would be fine to eat.
