I post a blog every week featuring food, family and fun. There are lots of useful household tips, crafty ideas, giveaways and delicious recipes that I think you will find irresistible.

Planning ahead makes a huge difference in how much food you waste.

It can also relieve that supermarket-aisle-stress where you don’t know what you fancy so just throw into the trolley several different ingredients that don’t really go together, we’ve all been there don’t worry!

This relatively short checklist of things is all you need to reduce your food waste; planning is super easy when you have the right tools!

Start with your More Taste & Less Waste cookbook, it has chapters that allow you to take one main ingredient and make two or three different meals with it.

In addition to the stunning, tasty recipes it has lots of tips and tricks, so you have expert knowledge at your fingertips!

For the week ahead, pick out 5 recipes you’d like to give a try, grab your favourite pen and fill in your practical Meal Planner Pad.

Write down all the ingredients required on your handy tear-off shopping list – but don’t forget to check in your cupboards and fridge/freezer in case you already have some of what you need.

Introducing the More Taste & Less Waste cookbook

You may not think about all the work that goes into producing a new cookbook, it takes us about two years to develop a concept into reality and many fantastic brains too! From recipe writers to testers, from designers to photographers, from editors to proof-readers and many more.

This year’s cookbook centres on the
notion of reducing food waste.

It’s an idea that rated very highly when we carried out our research back in 2019. Our brilliant milkmen and women that deliver Dairy Diaries and cookbooks to their customers love it too, a force that forms an important part of reducing plastic waste.

It is also very fitting that Zero Waste Week falls on 6–10 September! Giving advice to individuals, organisations, schools and communities on how to reduce landfill waste and save money.

Of course, help doesn’t stop there; More Taste and Less Waste will give you the tools you need to make it a lifetime habit and help save our planet one day at a time.

Take a look at a selection of recipes to give you an idea of the stunning collection of bakes, mains, desserts and snacks that More Taste and Less Waste has to offer.

Here is a bank holiday weekend treat for you, a sneak-peek at the BRAND-NEW cookbook!

Lots of you have been enquiring about the 2022 products already so we thought to share a snippet of what the new book has to offer.

We won’t tell you what it is called just yet, you will have to
wait a little bit longer but we promise it will be worth it…

This concept is rated one of the highest of all time in our research and we think the new recipes have really done it justice! A fantastic collection of savoury and sweet, meals, bakes, snacks and more awaits in this highly anticipated cookbook – of course with stunning photography!

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this fabulous teaser recipe that was my favourite at the photography shoot. It really is as scrumptious as it looks!

This comforting dish is from the ‘Take one: Make Three’ chapter, we can’t wait to tell you more about our newest creation – any guesses as to the theme?

Try the recipe…

I am the Brand Executive for Dairy Diary. A passionate foodie (with a very sweet-tooth). Who likes to blog about all things DIY & scrumptious recipes.

A few years ago, I visited an American BBQ themed restaurant in Liverpool whilst enjoying a cultured weekend away with my partner.

I chose what many might think is an odd combination – a doughnut beef burger; yes, it is just as it sounds a beef burger in a glazed ring doughnut.

The combination of sweet and savoury for me was absolutely delicious!

It got me thinking about what quirky British foods our country had to offer, so I flicked through the trusty Around Britain cookbook for inspiration!

Of course, the book is filled with mouth-watering recipes from across the British Isles, but a few caught my eye due to their quirky names! From Cumberland Rum Nicky to Wardens in Comfort.

One particularly fresh and zesty sounding dessert, perfect for this warm weather is the Boodle’s Orange Fool. Named after the Boodle’s Club in St James’s Street, London.

Boodle’s is a Private Members’ Club, founded in 1762 by the Earl of Shelburne, moved to its present premises at 28 St. James’s Street in 1782. The Club was named after its Head Waiter, Edward Boodle.

We’d love to know what dish your local region is famous for? Let us know in the comments below!

That’s where you come in… we need your help!

We would be so grateful if you could take just a few minutes to fill in the short survey below.
