SUMMARY:Grow\, Cook\, Care\, Share - Waste not\, want not: Quiche and strat
 a
DESCRIPTION:Waste not\, want not workshop series: Transforming the way you 
 think about food and the seasons.\n\nQuiche and strata\n\nEvery year in th
 e UK\, we throw away 6.6 million tonnes of household food waste - much of 
 it perfectly good produce that simply wasn't used in time. Meanwhile\, the
  cost of living continues to rise\, and many of us are looking for practic
 al ways to make our food budget stretch further while eating well.\n\nOver
  a series of two hour workshops\, you'll learn time-tested techniques for 
 preserving seasonal produce - whether it's from your garden\, local market
 s\, or those yellow-sticker bargains that represent genuine savings and re
 scue perfectly good food from unnecessary waste.\n\nEating seasonally isn'
 t just about saving money or reducing waste (though it does both beautiful
 ly). Seasonal eating connects us to the natural rhythms of the year\, ofte
 n provides better nutrition and flavour\, and supports local growers and s
 ustainable farming practices. When we preserve food at its peak\, we captu
 re not just its taste\, but its nutritional value too.\n\nBy the end of ea
 ch workshop\, you'll have the confidence to turn surplus into treasure - t
 ransforming those "too good to waste" moments into a well-stocked cupboard
  that serves you year-round.\nWhat you'll bring with you\, create and take
  home: Quiches &amp\; Strata - the ultimate leftover transformers\nThere's
  something absolutely magical about a good quiche or strata - they're like
  edible magic tricks that turn your wallet-friendly finds AND random lefto
 vers into proper meals.\nWhat exactly are these kitchen heroes? A quiche i
 s that gorgeous French creation - a buttery pastry case filled with a silk
 y egg custard packed with whatever delicious bits you fancy. Think of it a
 s a savoury tart that's equally happy at breakfast\, lunch\, or dinner. St
 rata\, on the other hand\, is like a savoury bread pudding - layers of bre
 ad soaked in seasoned eggs and cream\, studded with cheese\, vegetables\, 
 and proteins\, then baked until golden and puffed. It's comfort food at it
 s absolute finest!\nHere's the beautiful thing about both: it's basically 
 the art of turning "what's left in the fridge" into something absolutely s
 pectacular. Got some wilting spinach and half a block of cheese? Perfect f
 or either! Picked up some yellow-sticker ham or reduced vegetables? Even b
 etter. Those leftover roast vegetables\, that bit of bacon from breakfast\
 , or the bread that's going a bit stale - they're all quiche and strata go
 ld waiting to happen.\nThe best part? You can make beautiful\, filling mea
 ls that stretch ingredients further than you'd ever imagine. One quiche fe
 eds a family\, and strata is brilliant for batch cooking - slice it up and
  you've got breakfast\, lunch\, or dinner sorted for days!\nAnd can we tal
 k about how versatile these are? You're getting protein from eggs\, calciu
 m from dairy\, and whatever vegetables you fancy all baked into one glorio
 us dish. They're satisfying\, freezer-friendly\, and honestly make you loo
 k like a proper chef even when you're just clearing out the fridge.\nYou'l
 l learn to create beautiful quiches and hearty stratas using whatever ingr
 edients you have\, and take home your own creations plus the skills to nev
 er waste food again.\nWorkshop details\n\nGrow\, Cook\, Share\, Care is a 
 Hands of Hope programme engaging vulnerable groups\, those with complex ne
 eds\, families\, especially those living in food poverty\, and older peopl
 e\, in learning\, wellness and social activities aligned to growing\, cook
 ing\, and nature.\n\nSuitable for all. Priority for spaces will be given t
 o people meeting the criteria: aged over 50\, young carers and young adult
 s with learning disabilities.\n\nThere is no charge for this workshop\, do
 nations are always welcome!\n\nPlease ensure you arrive ten minutes before
