SUMMARY:Grow\, Cook\, Care\, Share - Waste not\, want not: Yellow label coo
 kery
DESCRIPTION:Waste not\, want not workshop series: Transforming the way you 
 think about food and the seasons.\n\nYellow label cookery\n\nEvery year in
  the 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 prac
 tical ways to make our food budget stretch further while eating well.\n\nO
 ver a series of two hour workshops\, you'll learn time-tested techniques f
 or preserving seasonal produce - whether it's from your garden\, local mar
 kets\, or those yellow-sticker bargains that represent genuine savings and
  rescue perfectly good food from unnecessary waste.\n\nEating seasonally i
 sn't just about saving money or reducing waste (though it does both beauti
 fully). Seasonal eating connects us to the natural rhythms of the year\, o
 ften provides better nutrition and flavour\, and supports local growers an
 d sustainable farming practices. When we preserve food at its peak\, we ca
 pture not just its taste\, but its nutritional value too.\n\nBy the end of
  each workshop\, you'll have the confidence to turn surplus into treasure 
 - transforming those "too good to waste" moments into a well-stocked cupbo
 ard that serves you year-round.\n\nWhat you'll bring with you\, create and
  take home: Yellow label cookery\n\nBuying reduced food at supermarkets\, 
 especially at the end of they day\, is a smart and sustainable choice help
 ing cut down on food waste and saving money\, often 30-75% off the origina
 l price and can significantly reduce your weekly food shop bills.\n\nThese
  items are often perfectly good but nearing their sell-by date\, and with 
 a little planning\, they can be turned into delicious meals or snacks. For
  example\, reduced fruit can be stewed\, baked into pies\, or frozen for l
 ater use\; discounted vegetables can be roasted\, made into soups\, or add
 ed to curries\; and marked-down meat can be cooked immediately or frozen f
 or future meals. We will also look at how to bulk out ready meals to feed 
 a family.\n\nBy choosing reduced items\, you're not only stretching your b
 udget but also giving you meals in your freezer.\n\nTo make this workshop 
 even more practical and personalised\, we encourage you to bring two yello
 w label food items you've purchased from any supermarket. Whether it's sli
 ghtly soft fruit\, vegetables nearing their best before date\, or marked-d
 own bakery items\, our chef will help you transform them into something co
 mpletely new.\n\nDon't worry if you can't find yellow label items beforeha
 nd - we'll have plenty of examples to work with during the session!\n\nWor
