Oxfordshire Waste Partnership is offering the chance
to improve your skills in the kitchen and get tips on how to make your food go
further with a free cookery class at Carterton Community Centre on 30th
January. Professional chef Ilja Harvey from Pudding Pie Cookery School will
lead the interactive and informal workshop, which would normally cost £50 to
attend.
The class is being run as part of the ‘Love Food Hate
Waste’ campaign to raise awareness of the problem of food waste. Research by
the Waste Resources Action Programme (Wrap) shows that each household in the UK
wastes around £60 per month by throwing away food which could have been eaten. Councillor
David Dodds, Chairman of Oxfordshire Waste Partnership, who are funding the
free places, says “there are some really simple ways to save money and eat
well, and we hope that this class will be a fun way of showing people that. Food
and equipment is provided, and all are welcome to take part, even if you have
no cooking experience!”
The session will run from 10am to 12 noon on Thursday
30th January at Carterton Community Centre, Marigold Square, Shilton
Park, Carterton. Spaces are limited, to book a place email owp@cherwell-dc.gov.uk or contact
Becky Lake, Communications Officer at Oxfordshire Waste Partnership, on 07967
580023.
