As the food bank gives out hundreds of kilograms of food to clients each week, why not have recipe cards available with simple, nutritious recipes that clients can make with the food?
This spring the food bank will be piloting recipe cards, with recipes such as ‘Pasta with tuna sauce’ using pasta, tinned tomatoes and tuna, or ‘Smashed chickpea humous’ (‘lovely on hot toast’ recommends the recipe). Those with a sweet tooth aren’t forgotten, with ‘Pears and hot chocolate sauce’, again using the tinned fruit and chocolate which people find in their food bags.
