We are a social enterprise, established in 2015 to raise awareness of and reduce the scandal of food waste. We've grown to save over 500 tonnes of food per year and now work on building a fair and sustainable food system for everyone in Sheffield. We do this through our Kitchen where we upcycle food, Market where we made food available to all and Farm where we grow our own food locally. We work wi

The freezer is your best friend! ❄️🍌

Miranda is back with part 2 of her "Waste Not, Want Not" kitchen wisdom! This week, she’s sharing her ultimate guide to freezing the surplus - including how to tackle the never-ending bananas.

Did you know you can freeze them for quick smoothies or chop them up before freezing to blend into a 1-ingredient healthy "ice cream!" 🍦

Miranda is also sharing her top tips for freezing wilted herbs, surplus tomatoes, and her massive mountain of leeks.

Namaste!

Following our hugely succesful Mexican Bistro night in May, we are back this month for an Indian themed evening. We will be incorporating the six tastes theory of Ayurveda into one sitting and serving you a traditional inspired meal.

Ayurveda sees taste as a powerful therapeutic tool that not only determines how we experience our food, but ultimately, the overall flavour of our existence.

Chef Harry and our volunteers cannot wait to share this amazing food with you.

Join us on Friday 12th June, 7pm - 9pm at Food Works Sharrow.

🍍 Don't throw away that pineapple skin!

Our guest blogger, Stella, is back with a challenge that will completely change how you look at fruit scraps. Inspired by the resourceful home cooks she met while traveling in Ukraine and Peru, Stella took a single pineapple from her patron box and used every single bit:

✨ The flesh: Chewy dried pineapple snacks.
✨ The core: A tangy chutney mixed with leftover beetroot stalks.
✨ The skin: A refreshing, spiced hibiscus brew.

💚 It's National Volunteer Week! 💚

💐Food Works is a largely volunteer led operation, consisting of 1 warehouse, 2 vans, 2 cafes and 1 nursery. Each hub has it's own team of dedicated individuals who give up their time and skills to ensure Food Works can run smoothly; and they do it excellently. Without all of our volunteers, we simply could not save and redistribute the tonnes of food that we shift every day. Thank you to anyone who has given their time to help our mission💐

🍅If you're interested in doing a trial shift at any of our hubs, please fill out an application form here: https://thefoodworks.org/join-us/volunteer-with-us/

Hope to meet you soon!🍅
