Are you a family of food lovers and keen to save up to $1,000 a year? A free cooking workshop will be held in Byron Bay on 23 June to help busy parents save money and waste less food.
In last week’s paper, we heard from Alison Drover, the host of the workshop, about the psychology and cost of food waste.
‘This workshop will provide practical tools and cooking demonstrations on making the most of your food, menu plans for healthy, nutritious family meals, clever storage ideas and creative cookery with leftovers’, said Linda Tohver, education coordinator for NE Waste.
Alison will equip participants to save money by reducing their food waste effectively and efficiently while enjoying healthy, nutritious family meals. All participants will enjoy taste testings of Alison’s delicious creations, as well as a free recipe book and leftovers storage container.
The workshop is coordinated by North East Waste and Byron Shire Council supported by the Environmental Trust as part of the NSW EPA’s Waste Less Recycle More initiative, funded from the waste levy.
The workshop will be held 6.30–9.00pm on Thursday
23 June at the Byron Community Centre. Bookings are essential as places are limited. Go to the North East Waste website: newaste.org.au or contact Linda Tohver on 0427 770 198.
