The free community cooking session we ran with Love Food Hate Waste and Recycle For Greater Manchester at Collier Hill Community
Centre in Oldham on Tuesday evening was full and action packed. The food went down really well, as did the messages
about reducing food waste and the tips for making a small budget go far.
The participants were split into groups for a discussion about what to do with food
leftovers and the stuff at the back of the fridge! They came up with some great
and rather tasty ideas!
We were making a tagine and mash, which Cracking Cook Kim talked us through, and the participants worked really well together, peeling,
slicing and frying onions before adding chopped parsnips,
red onions, potatoes, peppers and dried apricots. Cumin, paprika, cinnamon
and mild chilli powder were heated in a frying pan with honey, and a lovely aroma filled the
room as the spices cooked, then we added tinned tomatoes and water,
and left the contents to simmer, while we boiled potatoes for the mash. Everything came together perfectly and as everyone was pretty hungry
after the group work, we all tucked in to this wonderful autumnal meal enthusiastically.
