The Sustainable Kitchen
Learning how to buy, cook and eat sustainably at home has become of greater concern because of our changing environment. We all want to do our part for the greater good. Here we've collected clever zero-waste and environmentally conscious recipes, with tips for sustainable storage methods, how to minimise kitchen wastage, buy seasonally and make better ethical and organic shopping choices. By taking personal responsibility of how we farm, buy and cook food, we can take back the power and help protect the future of our planet.
