Zero-Waste Cooking Workshop: Turning Food Scraps into Delicious plant-based Meals! 

🥬🍌🗑️ Saving food starts at home! Grandma Sita believes every ingredient has value, especially the ones we often overlook. That’s why she’s hosting a zero-waste, recipe-free cooking workshop, using food scraps to create a delicious plant-based meal. Food waste is a global challenge, but small actions lead to big change. Let’s make sustainability delicious together!

👩‍🍳✨ Grandma Sita is always happy to share her knowledge and inspire others to rethink how we use food because every saved ingredient makes a difference. Every workshop involves small groups and is unique, using different rescued ingredients each time. The results are always a delightful surprise.

In this hands-on experience, participants will:
✅ Learn how to cook from scratch creatively without a recipe, using what’s available.
✅ Transform food scraps into nourishing, flavourful plant-based dishes.
✅ Enjoy a shared plant-based meal made entirely from rescued ingredients.
✅ Discover practical and impactful ways to reduce food waste at home.

👵💚Grandma Sita’s Tips:
*Cooking in small groups, working together, and sharing ideas/techniques builds confidence and creativity, making the experience more fun and rewarding. In Grandma Sita’s kitchen, learning happens by doing together!
*You can keep your food waste to a minimum with a few simple changes, from storing food correctly to using up your leftovers, using every edible part of fruits and veggies, and planning meals.

📗Zero-waste, recipe-free cooking is all about trusting your instincts, no need to follow exact measurements, using what you have, and reducing food waste a skill that turns everyday ingredients into flavourful dishes!
