15.01.2022 Vegetables are one of the most common household foods to end up in the bin. Avoid throwing out past-their-best-veggies by making a big pot of soup. Its great for these chilly days and with so many types of soup you can use almost any veggie you find in your fridge. Just keep a loaf of bread in the freezer and some stock on hand and you can create a delicious meal without shopping. #foodknowhow

10.01.2022 Did you know newspaper and grass reduce the smell of your compost? Its all about getting the balance right with green (wet fruit and vegetables) and brown waste (dead leaves, twigs). If your compost is too wet, add more browns, and if your compost is too dry add some greens.Try adding a layer of newspaper, grass, leaves or straw when you add food scraps. Remember, a well-managed compost shouldnt smell bad!... For more composting tips, see https://bit.ly/2oEfSes #YarraLife

09.01.2022 This is my 2016 resolution and its a big one. Its amazing, though, how simply being mindful of food waste has automatically decreased the amount of food our family throws away. For example, I am so much better about using leftovers now. Ive also discovered that a lot of our food waste happens when we eat out, so I try to adjust our takeout orders accordingly. There are just so many ways to decrease food waste and paying just a little bit of attention is a simple way to make a big difference! #Foodknowhow http://thisweekfordinner.com//10-simple-kitchen-tips-prot/
08.01.2022 Are you storing your produce completely wrong?
07.01.2022 When in doubt about what can and can't go in your FOGO bin, just remember if it didn't grow, it's not FOGO. For more on what can and can't go in your food and green waste (FOGO) bin, see https://bit.ly/2z5wSyT. #FoodKnowHow #YarraWasteTrial
06.01.2022 Eating accounts for 25% of the average persons climate footprint. If we all pick up small new habits to reduce that percentage, together we can make big changes that create a more sustainable world. When the cupboards and the fridge start to get bare, challenge yourself NOT to go to the supermarket. Instead, get creative! Challenge yourself to create a meal out of what you DO have before you buy more. It forces us to be creative, frugal and sustainable and is often great fun. #foodknowhow Learn more about mindful eating here - http://www.madmadmadbodega.com/yearofmindfuleating/

04.01.2022 Where does food waste happen? If you are thinking homes, the answer is a big yes! What is the world doing about food waste? France was the first country to pass a law that requires supermarkets to donate unsold food to charities and or to be used as animal food. #foodknowhow
