To help families be more resourceful with their snacking and reduce their yearly food waste, Jacob’s has launched the Less Waste More Taste Snackademy with actor and mum Jac Jossa and food waste chef Martyn Odell. The Jacob’s Snackademy will bring together recipes and tips from chefs and foodie influencers to help busy parents create easy and cost-effective snacks that the whole family will love. Inspiring them to use the food they already have in their fridges and cupboards, reducing their food waste and saving on the family budget at the same time.
Jacobs has partnered with FareShare to redistribute the equivalent of 40,000 meals in 2023 to help fight hunger across our network of nearly 9,500 charities and community organisations across the UK.
Jac Jossa, actor and mum said: “As a busy mother, there are sometimes moments where it’s easier to grab pre-packaged snacks, especially with fussy kids. However, with the help of Jacob’s Snackademy, I have learnt some really easy and quick recipes everyone can have up their sleeve to help reduce your food waste and save money throughout the year. I’m delighted to be launching the Jacob’s Snackademy with Martyn to help encourage families to transform their leftovers into tasty snacks.”
Food waste disruptor, Martyn Odell, The Lagom Chef said: “The recipes I’ve created all showcase how, with just a humble cracker, you can quickly knock up fresh and delicious snacks using food you already have at home. One of the best ways to fight food waste is to be more resourceful with the food you have, the Jacob’s Snackademy snacks are a great way to use up all those little bits and bobs leftover in your fridge that you may not know what to do with and so often throw away.”
