‘Love Food Hate Waste’ demos come to Saturday Market

The demonstrations are part of the Department of the Environment’s Rethink Waste campaign in Northern Ireland.

Jenny Turley will be cooking up some delicious meals with lots of recipe ideas to help you reduce food waste by making good use of those leftovers which might otherwise be thrown away.

The Love Food Hate Waste campaign aims to raise awareness of food waste and therefore reduce the amount of food waste we send to landfill.

In the UK £12 billion is spent every year buying and then throwing away good food which costs the average family £680 a year equating to around £50 per month.

The campaign shows that by doing some easy practical everyday things in the home we can all waste less food, which will ultimately benefit our purses and the environment too.

For tips on food planning and storage and over 170 delicious recipes using typical leftovers check out www.lovefoodhatewasteni.org or come along to see the cookery demonstrations for yourself.
