Save a Crust Outdoor Event

Across London, 254 million bread crusts are binned each year as one in five people overlook the end slices of loaves. That’s the equivalent just under 13 million loaves of bread – or over £13 million – being thrown away in crusts alone. On average, a household that avoids crusts throws away the equivalent of one and a quarter full loaves of bread a month, according to new research by North London Waste Authority (NLWA).

This free outdoor event with a live cookery demonstration welcomes all residents to come and learn more about bread waste prevention.

Clover Hutson from Artisan Cooks will present the show and food samples will be offered to participants along with recipe cards and food waste reduction tools. The cookery demonstration will showcase a range of delicious bread based dishes, such as panzanella and ribollita soup, which will be available for visitors to try on the day.

Attendees will also be able to learn how to make their bread last longer and take away the recipes for the dishes cooked on the day.
