No Bin, Planet Win!
“Use your loaf - save dough!”
was our mantra for a recent foodie
workshop held at Wareham United
Reformed Church.
All sorts of bread from the local Sainsbury’s
and Coop, otherwise destined for landfill,
was saved by Wareham Community Fridge
and chosen by Felicity for greater things – a
star-bakery role in our workshop!
Funded by money donated by the Coop
Community Fund to Sustainable Wareham,
the pilot event had two aims: to turn a
“waste” ingredient often found in our
Community Fridge into simple but yummy
meals and to have fun with friends!
Using her considerable experience from
managing the Community Cafe, Felicity
soon got our 11 participants working!
Bloomers were buttered and generously
daubed with marmalade, baguettes soaked
into Pappa al Pomodoro soup, walnut cobs
melded into dried fruit and orange juice for
cake, giant garlic cloves smashed to
pulp .........!
Everyone joined in as much as they wanted
and as the aromas mixed and people
chatted, tummies started to rumble!
Two hours later, we all sat down to sample
our efforts – Spanish soup to start, followed
by a savoury bread and butter pudding plus
garlic bread, then orange and cranberry gin
bread and butter pudding and a slice of
well-spiced bread pud to finish!!
