Food Waste Tips: Practical advice on how to reduce food waste at home, including storage solutions, portion control, and creative ways to use leftovers.
Nutritional Information: Detailed nutritional breakdowns for each recipe, helping users make informed choices about their diet.
Local Ingredients: Emphasis on using locally-sourced, seasonal, and more sustainable ingredients to reduce the carbon footprint of meals.
CEO Favourites: A number of CEOs of CGF member companies have lent their name to a recipe which holds personal significance for them.
