The Guardian Sue Perkins Lucy Siegal Food Waste
While scouting the internet for yesterday’s food waste pic I spotted this great video from the Guardian newspaper’s Green Team from December 2009. In it comedian and broadcaster Sue Perkins (from the wonderful “The Supersizers Go..” and many other great shows) talks to Lucy Siegle from the Guardian about some great food storage tips to reduce food waste.
I love the idea of keeping a note of what is exactly in your freezer so you can see what is still left to be eaten. And that you can freeze cream and butter and salmon! Genius!
Watch the video.

Here are our favourites links that we have found:
Enjoy a waste free weekend.
