No Waste Cook Club - Zero Waste Cooking workshops

Led by an experienced Open Table facilitator, participants will learn how to save money on grocery bills and waste less food. 

There will also be a ‘no waste cooking demonstration’, using foods that are often thrown away. 

Attendees will be able to ask questions and share their zero-waste cooking experiences, and will also receive recipes and resources to continue their journey to zero waste! 

Workshops will cover:  

• Food Waste: a brief overview of the impact of food waste on the environment and exactly how much edible food we waste in the average Australian household. 
• Planning: how to effectively meal plan to save on grocery bills and waste less food 
• Food storage: easy ways to store food in the pantry, fridge and freezer to achieve maximum freshness and longevity (includes a demonstration of refreshing droopy vegetables)
