Hello there! Summer seems to be fading as we head into an early autumn - but our August has been a bright one with a visit from a Michelin-star chef and thousands more meals served across the country.
Our latest outputs are now in (drumroll please....) We have now served a grand total of 102,265 meals and reclaimed 119,061kg of surplus food for use! Our amazing volunteers have given 80,980 hours to make this happen.
A Michelin-star feast at FoodCycle Islington
Last week we enjoyed a particularly special meal at FoodCycle Islington - welcoming Michelin-star chef Alfred Prasad and his head chef Nirmal Save into the kitchen. They enjoyed the challenge of cooking Ready, Steady, Cook-style from surplus food, serving up a tomato soup, garnished with thyme croutons and chives and grilled tomato and mozzarella pittas to start.
This was followed by a wonderful potato and green bean curry with rice and a leafy, fruity salad, and finally, for dessert, it was the classic FoodCycle staple: bread and butter pudding! This version was spruced up with strawberries and bananas, and served with custard and a grape and clementine salad. All the food served was thoroughly enjoyed by our guests in Islington with not a crumb left on plates: a true sign of outstanding food!
