Just a few of the day to day bits we’ve been doing to make the Ministry of Food more sustainable.

From making use of our local recycling spots for plastic, metal, glass and soft plastics, ditching cling film for reusable silicon lids, swapping out single use sponges and hand towels for reusable clothes, making use of local refill stations for cleaning products and store cupboard ingredients and introducing our new Veg Course!

We’ve been busy!

We buy all of our fresh ingredients from , supporting the local community and opting for seasonal produce over imports. Watch this space because we’ve got many more positive changes to come!

At the Ministry of Food we believe cooking from scratch and sharing cooking skills is one of the most impactful ways we can take charge of our health - and of course have some fun!

What a wonderful opportunity to get some affordable veggies in your fridges/freezers!

Why not experiment with throwing some frozen green veg (or any colour veg of your choosing) into your pasta water right at the end of cooking to add portion of veg to your dinner!

Here’s a brilliant recipe to try - if you’re experimenting with meat free meals you can sub the bacon for some chickpeas and make the swap to wholegrain pasta if you can.
