Food waste recycling: How to control food waste? The pay-what-you-feel rescued food Cafe "PayWhatYouFeel"

Food in Community, made up of UK residents, does not just give away rescued fruit, vegetables and other food and call it a day. It also uses "leftover food" to create dishes, holding a monthly "cook whatever you have" "Pay What You Feel Cafe" (PWYF Cafe), where customers pay what they feel the Cafe's food and service are worth.

"We set the menu based on what food we have on hand, usually including soup, a main course, vegetarian dishes, salad, bread, and sometimes dessert!" FIC director Chantelle and volunteers looked over the ingredients they had: graded-out potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, pineapple, apples, pears and apple juice donated by farms, plus mixed beans sent by the food bank... The volunteers then decided to cook the simplest "eggplant mixed vegetable stew" (which is just stewing all the vegetables and mixed beans together =.=), potato salad, and pear and pineapple salad. They were also short of seasonings and staple foods, which had to be bought from the supermarket.

Minimize Food Waste

When the PWYF cafe ended, there was still a lot left over
