Autumn is here, what’s in season?

When seasonality is a part of every food decision we make, it’s better for our health, for the economy and planet. And Fresh food tastes better.

Last Friday we joined our friends from across the community sector to celebrate the recipients of the Healthy Tasmania Focus Grants.

We are excited and grateful to have received two grants—to continue working with Tasmanians to build and deliver our Too Good To Waste and Plate With A Mate programs.

Too Good To Waste seeks to reconnect eaters to the production of their food—through storytelling, education and community action we are helping eaters save their food from ending up as waste. Climate change exacerbates current threats to nutrition and food security and food waste presents a wonderful overlapping of agendas—when we tackle one, we tackle both.

The skills and behaviour change required to reduce food waste in the home directly link to those needed to help Tasmania's to eat well—increased food literacy, an understanding of local food production, seasonality and culture building.

Plate With A Mate is providing Tasmanians with a space to share a plate of healthy, local seasonal food. That many meals in Tasmania are eaten alone, even when living with others, the opportunity to sit down together and enjoy a meal can be rare.

When we share food, we share more than food; knowledge, skills, and often the importance of these gatherings is less about the food and more about what — and who — surrounds them.

Making time for and joining in communal meals is perhaps one of the single most important things we can do – both for our own health and wellbeing and for that of our wider community.

Last week, we were in the field with Ines and David from @sparrowfootfarm as they harvested their 'Rosa Biancas'—a sweet, fleshy and less bitter variety of eggplant.

Unsure how to prepare and enjoy eggplant at home? You can find a few simple, tasty eggplant recipes on our website (linked in bio).

We’re in the final weeks of enjoying locally grown corn and on our recent trip down through the Huon Valley we met with market gardener Jane Herring—mid-harvest of a gorgeous glut of sweetcorn.

Jane shared her go-to recipe for using sweet corn—a summer take on Okonomiyaki (a type of savoury pancake) you can find Jane's recipe linked in our bio //
