Judging Others

Last fall (autumn) I started volunteering at the Greener Orkney Community Fridge, whose goal is to reduce food waste here on the islands. They applied for and received a grant to purchase and give away a few hundred slow cookers. In this time of ridiculous gas & electricity costs, anything that will help people save money while reducing food waste is a good thing.

As part of the slow cooker give away (locals had to apply and then based on their situation were ranked to receive one), Greener Orkney has been running a series of recipe contests. Every two weeks is a new category of slow cooker food, and people submit recipes – at the end of the fortnight someone wins a £50 grocery voucher.

I was the judge for the first half of January (our theme was Soup), and as well as choosing the winning recipe (Root Veg soup), I posted a couple of my own. I went with a Canadian vibe for one, and a waste-reduction bent for the other. I think this is such a great initiative.
