Love Food Hate Waste - Seasonal Cooking & Produce Box Skills

Get practical skills to reduce food waste and make the most of your seasonal produce. The session starts with tips on planning, storing, and using your weekly produce box, then moves into a hands-on cooking session.

In small groups, you’ll prepare a shared meal using the provided produce, focusing on simple one-pot or tray-based dishes, using whole vegetables (tops, stems, and leaves), and learning how to adapt recipes creatively. At the end, enjoy the meal together, share ideas, and swap tips with other participants.

The workshop will be facilitated by Melinda Essey - founder of The Messey Table, Melinda is a cook, presenter, recipe writer, teacher and eater and Melinda brings an unwavering passion for delicious and sustainable food, rooted in a commitment to minimising waste and celebrating fresh produce.
