Food matters: Leftovers serve up a real treat

Based at the finish line of the Jane Tomlinson's Run for All race, the Love Food Hate Waste team were the only ones on two wheels – with their unusual bike-powered smoothie maker. Crowds enjoyed smoothie samples as they discovered just how easy it is to plough through neglected fruit in the bowl with a quick blitz in the blender.

At the Kirkgate Farmers' Market, top TV Chef Nigel Brown was cooking up a storm in the Love Food Hate Waste Food Theatre. But these gastronomic delights came with a twist – they were all made from leftovers – showing the crowds how easy it is to make food go further.

Love Food Hate Waste will be at the Great Yorkshire Show when TV Chefs Richard Fox and Nigel Brown enter into culinary battle to see who can create the best dish from everyday leftovers.

The Love Food Hate Waste Roadshow will be hosting the cook-off, compared by Stray FM, on Tuesday.

Love Food Hate Waste, brought to the Great Yorkshire Show by the York and North Yorkshire Waste Partnership, will be in the discovery zone.
