Lent is the time to give something up, so why not give up food waste? When the average UK family wastes £70 a month throwing away food and drink that could have been eaten, those 40 days without food waste could save a few quid too. But this kind of abstinence doesn’t have to be dull and drab.
Pancakes are the perfect vehicle for transforming lingering leftovers. Every cuisine seems to have its own version of the humble pancake and with good reason - they’re so flippin’ versatile and taste delicious. So stick two fork prongs up at food waste and tuck in!
