Cooking up a storm on a budget

Batch cooking, avoiding food waste and building confidence in the kitchen.

We all know that food waste is bad for the planet, but it’s hard on our pocket too. So how can we make the most of the ingredients in our kitchen to save on shopping bills and try out new recipes?

Eileen makes a return visit to the Shettleston Community Growing Project in Glasgow to see what has grown over the summer. She’s joined by volunteer Mary, climate activist and zero waste advocate Laura Young – best known as Less Waste Laura – and Donna Borokinni, who works with the Glasgow Community Food Network as part of the Food and Climate Action project. They discuss building confidence in the kitchen and where we can look for meal inspiration.

Plus Kim and Eileen learn how we can start to incorporate batch cooking in to our lives with The Batch Lady – Suzanne Mulholland.
