Did you know that in the UK, around 2.7 million carrots go to waste every day? Or that 24 million slices of bread are discarded daily? And that each day 1.4 million bananas are being thrown in the food waste?
Probably more, shocking is that most people eat the same six dishes on repeat and an average family’s food waste equates to £700 a year. What would you do with an extra £700?
But, feeding ourselves and our families really doesn’t have to cost the earth. Nor does looking after our food resources, planet and bank balance need to be hard work.
I will work with you to reduce your food waste, save money on your food bills, become more efficient in the kitchen, make the most of the ingredients you buy and the food you cook as well as answer that age-old question of what’s for dinner!
Take a look at what people have been saying about my courses.

Huge thanks to Sarah for teaching me how to meal plan. It has given me much needed structure, enabling me to shop for groceries just once a week. Definitely something I’ll continue to do as it’s saving me heaps of time!
The ‘Making food (and your money) go further’ online course has rescued me from spending too much on my weekly shop and having no motivation in the kitchen. I now meal plan (something which I never did before). I am shopping more efficiently, and my cupboards have never been more organised. Thank you so much to Sarah for giving me the skills and confidence I was lacking before.
