The cost of living crisis and a desire to waste less is inspiring more of us to think again about throwing away ingredients we’ve already paid for.

They will be given some ingredients from the Living Room in Commercial Road that they have no prior knowledge of and will be tasked to think on their feet to create something tasty from what they are provided with.

Mrs Evans said:"Most of us live really busy lives and don’t give a moment’s thought before chucking scraps away.

"But all those ‘scraps’ have been paid for with hard-earned cash.

"Throwing leftovers away is equivalent to throwing this money down the drain.

"We’ll show people how to make really easy family meals with the most basic ingredients."

Domenica Fitch, operations manager at Ethos, which The Living Room is part of, said:

"We’re thrilled to have been asked to provide the ingredients for the cooking demos at Hereford River Carnival.

"The ingredients will be collected as surplus food from supermarkets that would have otherwise gone in the bin. Together we can reduce food wastage and save our planet."
