The award-winning Ambrette restaurants in Margate and Rye, hope to draw attention to the enormous amounts of edible food we waste in Britain, through two charity dinners. Chef Patron Dev Biswal will create a gourmet six-course tasting menu using ingredients commonly discarded by restaurants, supermarkets, butchers, fishmongers and domestic kitchens - with proceeds donated to provide humanitarian aid in South Sudan via the Red Cross.
When we were given access to a small patch of overgrown land, to clear and grow our own fruit and vegetable, we seized the opportunity and began work at the beginning of March to transform our patch into an allotment space. Share our highs and lows as we begin to grow our own and follow our journey through to the harvest when we hope to have a selection of produce we can use to create homegrown recipes.
Congratulations to our winner, James Jordan (Nottinghamshire).
Congratulations to winner John Harte (London).
