Roti Reinvented – Zero Waste Adult Cooking Class
Bread and flatbreads are everyday staples, but these products are also among the most wasted foods in UK homes. In fact, we throw away around 960 tonnes of bread every single day!

Together we’ll be making: ✨French Mini quiches – using roti instead of pastry ✨Mexican Quesadillas – using roti as a tortilla wrap ✨British Bread & Butter pudding with a roti twist!
When:
📅 Tuesday 8th September
⏰ 12.30pm – 2.30pm
Location: The Springfield Centre
