What a lovely afternoon our volunteer Christina spent in her diner's garden recently, enjoying Christina's delicious moroccan chickpea and sweet potato tagine with crusty rolls together. 🍛

"We shared the meal and finished with tea and biscuits, all in my diner’s lovely sunny garden! I received a bag full of cooking apples which my diner had picked for me from her apple tree, so kind!" 🌳🍎🌞

Wanting to try out a new recipe for your diner, take a read through the comments on this page for some meal share ideas.

I bought some orzo yesterday when I went shopping.
Never used it before but have seen plenty recipes.
Do any of you use orzo in your recipes??
Would love to hear some of your suggestions 😊

Thanks,

Volunteer Cooks can access Food Pantries and Community Fridges in Fife. Have you looked into them in your area?
Perhaps it is an opportunity to access fresh local produce.
