We were blessed with an abundance of volunteers today, several of whom love cooking. They created a very tasty menu out of the ingredients that we had, including some slightly unusual dishes. Here’s what our 40 customers ate in the cafe or took home for later:

• 8 portions of carrot and butternut soup
• 10 portions of mushroom soup
• 10 portions of deep fried Camembert with truffle
• 15 portions of turkey tikka and rice
• 13 portions of cauliflower and potato curry with dahl
• 5 portions of goats cheese and beetroot pasta with tomato sauce
• 10 portions of vegetarian frittata
• 13 portions of egg custard with biscuit base
• 13 portions of Greek yoghurt, mango and fig
• 10 portions of chocolate muffin

The food donations we received included minced beef, mince pies and an assortment of beans. £79.07 was given in monetary donations and a number of people worked hard in the kitchen preparing food, washing up and clearing up.

A big thank you to everyone who supported the cafe today! Your help enables us to turn ‘bin food’ into nutritious meals! #feed bellies not bins
