Use Your Loaf!

This month's fork to fork supper is again hosted by Hornbeam Volunteers, after a successful Pumpkin Rescue night back in October (one of our volunteers came to eat that night and is now part of the team!) http://www.hornbeam.org.uk/2015/10/pumpkin-rescue-pop-up-supper-saturday-31st-october/

UK households and supermarkets are topping EU food waste charts.

99% of British households buy bread, and it is also the most wasted food in the country, with 24 million slices going in the bin each year.

In response to this volunteers with a range of interests and experience have come together to serve up fresh ideas at the Hornbeam's monthly Fork to Fork supper club.

We are planning a menu that is vibrant, delicious and makes innovative use of surplus bread, from crust to crumb!

Built for sharing, this refreshing menu will offer lots of different flavours which truly showcase the delights of Britain’s favourite food, along with some other surprises.

Menu

Gazpacho-style dip with vegetable crisps

~
A tasty stew served in sourdough bread bowls

~
Cardomom biscuits and chocolate sauce with blood orange slices

~
Toffee apple slice

"We are taking a new look at surplus food and would like to give people ideas of what they can do with it" Ricardo, volunteer

"Aiming to inspire people to try new things, to be unafriad of using scraps" Tor, volunteer

Bring your friends and your neighbours! The menu will include at least three courses, a few new twists and there will be a Foodie Quiz...

Surplus funds raised from this project will go into our continuing core projects working to share a message of sustainable food such as our Community Mondays and our Film Nights.
