LAST BITE RECIPE

Terry’s Chocolate Orange brownies

plastic

It’s widely known how much damage single-use plastics are doing to the environment – particularly the impact of microplastics on marine life. You can do your bit to avoid them by using a refillable water bottle and coffee flask, taking containers with you when shopping for loose ingredients and by reusing shopping bags. Head to Omagazine.com and search ‘sustainable’ for our guide to the best.

food waste

A third of all food produced globally goes to waste, accounting for vast emissions of greenhouse gases. The average food waste per household equates to around £800 a year. So help save the environment (and money) by planning weekly meals, sticking to your shopping list, utilising your freezer and spinning leftovers into delicious meals, such as our refried smashed roasties with green harissa and yogurt (see Omagazine.com).
