Cooking with Josh: Series

Cooking with Josh is a series of helpful videos, all about being more sustainable in our food habits. These videos will show simple, money-saving and carbon-saving ways to make delicious meals!

Firstly in the series, is the aptly named ‘No Waste Winter Meal’, which uses every part of the ingredients, including vegetable scraps and bones, to create a rich, flavourful stock.
This age-old technique minimises waste and supports local produce, making our meals sustainable and delicious.

Bread Pudding is my favourite way to make use of stale bread!
Its lots of fun to make and a very comforting snack.
It tastes great when served hot, though I think it’s best when chilled in the fridge.
In 2024,  we launched the ultimate sustainable food challenge, where residents could win a brand new Ninja Air Fryer.
The challenge, cook a meal for £5 with at least 5 ingredients. These ingredients had a sustainable element, such as using leftovers, growing your own, buying local and seasonal.
Introducing, the winner of the first 5 for 5 challenge! There was some tough competitions from their fellow residents, but the winner put up a great fight, with almost all their meal being grown in their garden!

How often do you use your grill? This video shows a side by side experiment to see if it’s worth giving our often neglected appliance a chance!
