Food waste is something we really struggle with in our home. As you can imagine, running a food channel involves spending a lot of time in the kitchen and the truth is we’re not as efficient as we could be when it comes to keeping tabs on what ends up in our bin.
If we’re not filming, we’ll happily throw together a speedy meal using whatever wilted herbs and soft veggies we can find at the back of our fridge. But as soon as we’re in the studio, the food we present needs to look picture perfect, which can involve buying more ingredients than we’d typically need to be sure everything is as fresh and vibrant as possible.
