Elizabeth's Kitchen Diary
cooking up a storm at the edge of the world
In collaboration with Love Food Hate Waste. This week, why not get into the habit of making the most out of leftover ingredients, because waste not, want not, as they say! This blog post is the final instalment in our #GiveUpBinningFood series in collaboration with Love Food Hate Waste and it’s is all about re-purposing …
In collaboration with Love Food Hate Waste. It’s already week three of the Love Food Hate Waste #GiveUpBinningFood campaign, where is the time going?! This six-week long food waste prevention campaign running throughout Lent is broken down into weekly themes to help make reducing food waste at home a more attainable goal.
In collaboration with Love Food Hate Waste. I have a confession to make: I have never meal planned before. Ever.

Post updated 16 August 2018. “Mum, why it so windy?” It’s that time of year again. The gales have returned causing ferry transport disruptions. It’s getting dark early and …
