Every week our volunteers are challenged with turning surplus food into delicious and nutritious three-course meals. They’ve gotten pretty creative at transforming a mismatch of food into a vegetarian feast. As it’s National Vegetarian Week, we’ve asked them to share some of their favourite recipes, so you can make a three course meal the FoodCycle way! To kick off, we have a starter from FoodCycle Salford Langworthy!
