It’s on! The Food Waste Prevention Week Cooking Challenge is open! Rachael Jackson (that’s me!), EatOrToss’s founding editor is a judge and co-director of this national challenge. I hope you’ll enter. To sweeten the waste-fighting deal, five winners will each get $100!
Here’s how it works: Anytime you prepare a meal using food that could have easily gone to waste, tell us about it! The details and entry form are at foodwastepreventionweek.com/recipe.
You don’t need to share a formal recipe, just tell us the story. Even an experiment that didn’t go perfectly counts! Our goal is to normalize and celebrate low-waste cooking. There are few rules in the kitchen and few rules for our contest. Enter as many times as you want until April 16.
This contest is part of a number of events, ranging from national webinars and contests to local happy hours and panels, designed to raise awareness of food waste and the power eat of us has to combat it. Food Waste Prevention Week runs from April 7-13. Learn more here.
As a member of the National Planning Committee for FWPW, I’m thrilled to be running and judging this contest alongside Alison Mountford of Endsandstems.com and Barbara Martinez-Guerrero of Dream In Green.
