My Community, My Food (Extended Version)
Goal 2 - Zero Hunger
Learn about the foods produced in your area and create an original, sustainable meal from local ingredients.
What is this challenge?
Strawberries may not be in season in the depths of a Scottish winter – yet they can readily be found on our supermarket shelves. However, transporting food across the planet requires vast amounts of fossil fuels, pesticides, protective packaging, preservative coatings, and labour. In this challenge, you will create your own exciting new recipe made from foods produced within 100 miles of your location. In this ‘Extended’ version of the challenge, you will also produce a budget for your recipe. Along the way you’ll also get tips from 2019 MasterChef finalist Jilly McCord on how to combine ingredients!
When can I participate?
This Challenge is open now!
What happens at the end?
You will receive a Certificate of Achievement, and will have the opportunity for your work to be published in an online recipe book. A young person aged 16-18 who submits an outstanding piece of work will be given the opportunity to spend a day with the chefs at a leading Scottish restaurant.
