We're looking for 10 Gransnetters to take part in a 2 week 'cook once eat twice' challenge.
Here's what Colman's say about the challenge:
"Wasting food costs families up and down the country money and has an impact on the environment too. Bulk cooking is a simple way to reduce this, as it can help with meal planning and provides a solution for those mealtimes when you just don't have the time or inspiration to cook. So join us in making your family's favourite dishes go further and save yourself time and money in the process!"
The aim of this challenge is to encourage GNers who don't often cook in batches, to try some of the Colman's recipes to make enough meals to last for the week by freezing and reheating when needed.
Those selected to take part will be sent a selection of Colman's packet mixes including:
- Colman's Chilli Con Carne Casserole (suitable for vegetarians)
- Colman's Chicken Casserole
- Colman's Beef Casserole
- Colman's Sausage Casserole (suitable for vegetarians)
You'll also receive Colman's recipe cards, information on food waste as well as some tips for freezing meals from Love Food Hate Waste.
Testers will then need to cook a couple of the recipes in one go and freeze into portion sizes for use over the 2 weeks.
You'll then need to add feedback to a thread on GN about how you found the recipes and whether or not you saved time and money and reduced the amount of food you usually waste.
Everyone who adds their feedback to the thread will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive a £150 M&S voucher.
We know many GNers are seasoned pros at cooking in bulk and freezing leftovers and we'd like those of you who have top tips to share to help the testers out on the feedback thread so do keep a look out for this - there'll be an extra prize to win .
If you'd like to take part, please sign up here.
Thanks and good luck,
GNHQ
