Liam I'm loving your blogs/newsletters! Food waste is a real pet hate of mine. For years now, I've sat down and done a menu once a week, then created the necessary shopping list et voila! The kids have loved knowing what they're having over the week (and contributing to the menu ideas!) and I've loved only thinking about it once... I couldn't stand the stress of deciding what to have on a daily basis! In fact, Jamie does this with his house-mates at Uni, too. We're only buying the stuff we need, freezing or lunching on the leftovers. Minimal food waste - and minimal money waste too. As for Olio, thanks for the reminder. I joined it years ago but everyone was so far away... I'm signing up again as soon as I've finished here. Lastly... it's also a good idea to have a poke about in the freezer and cupboards every now again and come up with some dishes that use up the stuff that's been around for a while. OK, that's me done, love you! xx

That was a really interesting read, I have been so strict with reducing food waste the last few years. I try to use leftovers the next day so I don't forget about them and I freeze food if I don't get to use it. The Olio app is excellent, I encourage everyone in my area to start using it.
