[077] HOW YOUR FREEZER CAN HELP FIGHT FOOD WASTE WITH KATE FROM THE FULL FREEZER

If you’ve been listening along for a little while, you might have heard me banging on about food waste in previous episodes – I talk to Ann Storr about meal planning in Episode 66, to Tessa from Olio, the food sharing app, in Episode 47 and to Ivor from CozZo which is a food inventory app in Episode 41.

So it’s fair to say I’m a big advocate of taking action to reduce food waste. And that’s because food waste is a Big Deal when it comes to the climate crisis. I’ve shared these stats before but I make no apologies for doing so again:

• If food waste were a country, it would be the 3^rd biggest emitter of global greenhouse gases after the USA and China
•  50% of food waste occurs in the home.
  In my home, your home, all of our homes.

One of the best ways to reduce is to meal-plan and I refer you again to my chat with the brilliant Ann from the Storr Cupboard in Episode 66, but today I’m chatting all things freezing with Kate from The Full Freezer. I hope Kate doesn’t mind me saying this, but she is a full on freezer geek – I have never known anyone so excited and so knowledgeable about the humble freezer – how to organise, what we can freeze, how to safely defrost food and much much more.
So grab a cuppa, or an ice cream (see what I did there) and settle down for some fascinating freezer chat.

Enjoy!
