Cooking Recipes - Sweet Have you got any more interesting dessert/cake/biscuit recipes that you would like to share with other villagers? Then please forward them to the Webmaster for inclusion on this page Give food a second chance this Christmas With festive entertaining, most of us have extra food left over that we just didn't use in time. Over the Christmas period we throw out an estimated 80% more food than usual - wasting nearly £50 per household! Most of this waste is avoidable. Chilling Out Making the most of your fridge and freezer can help extend the life of your food. * We keep our freshest (and often most expensive) food in the fridge, so keep tabs on their use-by dates. The freezer may be the best place for food you won't get round to eating in time. * Festive foods like Christmas cheese, and parties foods like sausage rolls can be frozen and used in packed lunches when you go back to work. Remember not to refreeze food. Leftover lovelies Being creative with your leftovers will save it from going to waste and will often create a tasty, nutritionous meal. Cranberry sauce brownies are just one example there are many more at www.norfolk.gov.uk/secondchance. Cranberry Sauce Brownies This chocolate brownie recipe doubles or triples well and they freeze brilliantly. Add other leftover festive ingredients such as nuts or dried fruits.
