From choosing the right ingredients to making the most of your kitchen scraps, adopting a more considered approach to the food you eat is not only good news for the planet, it’s also simple, creative and loads of fun. You just need the right tools for the job.

In this brand new workshop, we’re giving you the skills and the confidence to cook more sustainably at home.
