FOOD & DRINK
Making a meal of it Making delicious meals from leftovers, saving money and fighting climate change at the same time sounds too good to be true but one Harlesden resident has found the secret recipe and is passing it on for all to enjoy. ualified nutritionist Nureen Glaves is dedicated to helping residents reduce food waste while saving money. “I feel that living an eco-friendly life and wasting less food goes hand in hand with saving money, being healthy and getting back to basics,” says Nureen, who has 22 years’ experience in food nutrition. Nureen, who is the founder of Feed Me Good, helps families to shop wisely and reduce food waste. “Local residents tell me they are struggling to afford food shopping and feeding their families due to economic hardship. I help to tailor their shop to their cultural needs whilst also saving money and sticking to a budget. “Food is a universal language, and people love to share favourite dishes and stories through food. It’s a great way of bringing people together but also getting them to think about living a more eco-friendly life.” For copies of cookbook ‘Feed Me Good with Chef Nureen’ or for more information, visit: www.feedmegood.co.uk.
