We're bringing #2Good2Waste to Launceston for a special screening in partnership with the @universityoftasmania and @launcestongastronomy. Wasting food wastes everything: Water, fuel, labour, money and time. Tasmanian producers work hard so we can eat incredible food—it belongs on our plates, not the bin. TOO GOOD TO WASTE, a short film, chronicles the journey Tasmanian food makes from paddock to plate and the incredible producers, chefs and educators that make this possible. Join us at the Inveresk UTAS Campus on December 8th for a special screening event. We have a brilliant line-up of passionate and waste-wise Tasmanians joining us for a post-screening panel—and we're interested to hear and welcome your voice to this conversation. Tickets are FREE (but spaces limited) reserve your place now via the link in our bio // #2Good2Waste . . . . . . . Food is the single largest contributor to landfill—but we can change that. Learn how at eatwelltas.org.au. #2Good2Waste We're lucky to have some brilliant mushroom producers in Tasmania—offering up some unusual and delicious varieties. But we understand they can feel a little intimidating to take home and cook with! Last Spring we caught up with chef @chefrhyshannan and producer @btmushrooms to talk all things mushrooms—how to cook with varieties like wild chanterelle, portobello, and shiitake and feel right at home // Watch the full interview via the link in our bio (Harvest Tour) // Plus you can find Tasmanian mushroom producers listed on our Tas Producers Directory and mushroom recipes on our website (both linked in our bio) // #EatWellTas #TasmanianProduce Sharing a meal with loved ones, co-workers or friends sits at the heart of creating connected commutnies, and often the importance of these gatherings is less about the food and more about what — and who — surrounds them. We've been travelling around Tasmania with the crew from @soldieronaust to cook and share delicious seasonal food. With communities in Queenstown, Exeter and along the East Coast Solider On is is working to ensure serving and ex-serving veterans and their families thrive—this means cultivating communities that are connected. Plate With A Mate, an Eat Well Tasmania Program, aims to connect Tasmanians over a plate of seasonal, tasty food—for more information on how to support the campaign or involve your community, vist the link in our bio // #PlateWithAMate #WhatsInSeason #EatLocal #EatWell Eating well and saving food starts with a plan. Follow our four EASY TIPS ✨when planning meals at home and you'll be saving food like a pro in no time at all—here's to a delicious week 🥦🍎🤸 1. CHECK THE REFRIGERATOR Next week’s meals get their start in the refrigerator. See what needs to be used up, and then think of a meal to make with those items. Check your pantry for the rest of the ingredients and add missing pieces to the shopping list. 
 2. HAVE KITCHEN ESSENTIALS HANDY
Stock up on two or three grains, key spices, and “hero” condiment ( one that can save you in a food waste emergency…we like a good hot sauce). These items can come to the rescue, and bring new life to old meals. 3. COOK AND FREEZE
Soups, stews, casseroles, and lasagna can all be made in large batches and then frozen and defrosted when you need a quick dinner. To keep it easy, always freeze in the portion sizes you’ll want to defrost. 4. EAT WHAT’S IN SEASON Seasonal food is more likely to be fresher, more nutrient dense and grown locally. This helps your food last longer. It’s not always easy to find local food, but shopping in season is your best bet to find and support local growers. . . . . Food waste is a complex issue, but there are simple solutions. Learn to #LoveYourLeftovers, cook better and #EatWell.
