Free Community Cooking workshop with Masterchef Kate Bracks
You don’t need to be a MasterChef to cook nutritious, delicious meals that compromises the environment or your back pocket, according to Central West local and former MasterChef winner, Kate Bracks
Cancer Council NSW, in partnership with regional waste and resource management group NetWaste, is bringing a free “Pantry to Plate” cooking workshop to Forbes Town Hall on November 13th, which has been funded by NSW Environment Authority’s (EPA) Love Food Hate Waste Food Smart program.
“These workshops aim to provide families with the confidence to create simple, delicious and healthy food from scratch – all while reducing your risk of cancer and food waste footprint” said Kate.
This is the third year this highly anticipated workshop series has been delivered in Western NSW, and organisers expect this year’s series to be hugely popular yet again.

2018 Waste to Art
This year’s theme Waste is Polystyrene. The aim of Waste 2 Art is to challenge people’s perceptions about ‘rubbish’ and to celebrate the reuse and recycling of waste through arts and crafts. Waste 2 Art provides an innovative approach to waste education, invites schools and community groups to take up the challenge and create a new life for materials that would otherwise have been thrown away.
