Now I get creative with foods...

Hester - WIHester Robinson is a university student, and mother of three. She got involved in Love Food Hate Waste last year as she wanted to learn more about how to reduce her food waste and has certainly picked up good habits along the way...

Before Hester found that there were some foods, like fruit and vegetables which she was throwing out again and again.

"Now I'm creative and come up with solutions for how to use the foods I would normally throw away. I often make smoothies with the fruit, and stews or casseroles with the veg"

Using up leftovers and odds and ends lurking in the fridge is easy, with a bit of creativity and a well stocked store cupboard. Keeping your store cupboard full of essentials means you'll always be able to create a quick meal to use up food you may otherwise have thrown out.

Check out our leftover recipes to get Hester's habit and get creative with your foods.
