Eco-restaurateur Jamie Grainger-Smith goes green in the kitchen

15th July 2010, 10:59am

Eco-restaurateur Jamie Grainger-Smith is introducing some simple tips and recipes to encourage the British public to get greener in the kitchen.

Grainger-Smith has been working with EDF Energy, Britain's largest producer of low carbon electricity, to develop low carbon recipes which use locally-grown or seasonal produce to reduce food miles as well as helping to limit the amount of food thrown away.

He commented: "It's easy to think that you can't make a difference on your own but by simply stopping to think before you eat and drink, you can! I've been working with Team Green Britain to show how simple changes such as looking at where your food comes from, eating what's in season or visiting a local butcher or deli can make your cooking more fun, more sustainable and even more delicious. Why not try out some of these recipes with friends and neighbours by hosting a Big Lunch on the 18th July too?"

Eva Eisenschimmel, chief operating officer, EDF Energy added: "EDF Energy kicked off Team Green Britain to help us pull together and discover our community spirit to tackle climate change... We're hoping that groups across the country will give Jamie's low carbon recipes a try with their friends and neighbours when they sit down together for a Big Lunch on July 18th."

The recipes are available to view at www.teamgreenbritain.org.
