Had great fun at the Eco Day with Oxford City Council Recycle Team at the Co-Op store in Cowley.
Cooking up some treats that can easily be made from everyday food leftovers.
We are running more events with the Co-Op in January and will post details nearer the time.
We are now featured on the MidCounties Co-Op website. Here we have developed some healthy eating recipes for you to try.
As we are now doing regular healthy eating workshops with them, more recipes will be added as they are available.

If you were not already convinced of the benefits of home-baked bread over the shop bought alternative, how about this fact.
One of the ‘Improving Agents’ used in flour for commercial baked bread products is an additive known as E920, so what is it?
The two main sources of E920 are:
* Animal fat (often pork)
* Human hair or animal feathers
Home-made bread contains just 4 ingredients:
Water
Yeast
Flour
Salt
Which would rather eat? Don’t forget if you need some help with how to make delicious bread at home why not try one of our Dough Classes.

A new European Food Survey shows that the British take a more measured approach to possible food safety risks than their European neighbours.
The food survey, carried out by the European Food Safety Authority, asked about 27,000 consumers across the EU a range of questions relating to the possible risks associated with food.
Respondents were asked how worried they were about certain perceived food risks such as pesticides, food poisoning, and hormones in meat. British respondents were less worried about all of these perceived risks than their European counterparts but were most concerned about the welfare of farmed animals and the quality and freshness of food.
UK respondents were more worried about the economic crises negatively affecting their lives than concerned that the food they personally eat could possibly damage their health.
Only 29% of UK respondents thought that food could possibly damage their health as opposed to 48% in the rest of the EU. UK consumers were also less likely to permanently change their eating habits after hearing that a type of food was unsafe following media stories (only 7% in the UK compared to 11% in Europe).

We have just had a new Safety Floor put into our new premises. As well as meeting all the necessary safety and non slip guidelines, the floor is made from recycled plastic bottles, so we are doing everything we can to help the environment.
We also plan to recycle all our waste where possible and compost our food leftovers.
