HomeThings to DoDo-It-Yourself: Creative Cooking with what you’ve got

Reduce waste and save money in the kitchen by getting creative!

Ever wonder what to do with that unique veg you got in your food box that you’ve never seen before? Or have that leftover 1Tbs of tomato paste and unsure how to use it? What about that hunk of cheese you bought for that one recipe and now don’t know what to do with? What about that extra cilantro you have kicking in your crisper?

At this creative cooking workshop hosted in collaboration with Saanich Neighbourhood Place, we’ll come together in the kitchen – and you’ll bring an ingredient from your fridge or pantry you’re unsure how to use up! Kayla from the Compost Education Centre will describe the importance of food waste reduction and composting, while expert chef Tina will lead us in an improvised cooking class with some of the ingredients you bring, and additional rescued food that might have otherwise been destined for the landfill but is still perfectly tasty cooked up. Bring an ingredient and bring a couple containers to take food home in as we won’t have time to eat it in this kitchen endeavour.

Destination Greater Victoria is honoured to be based on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xwsepsum Nation, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
