THE LOVE Food Hate Waste campaign is searching for households from Yorkshire to take part in its Food Lover challenge.

The challenge, which will run from October 4 to November 28, aims to urge households to save money, make the most of their food and help the environment.

Participants will keep a food-waste diary for a week to see how much is going in their bin.

Then they will be treated to a Food Lover makeover including cookery lessons with one of the region’s top chefs, a personalised food surgery with tailored ideas on how to cut down on food waste and a goody bag to help them store food safer for longer.

Potential participants should contact North Yorkshire County Council at wastecampaigns@northyorks.gov.uk or on 01609 532512.
