Here's what the Bounceback Food team have been up to!

Our Duke of Edinburgh volunteer, Lexie is back with another brilliant recipe!

Just to recap, the challenge gives our customers, aspiring chefs and influential food writers across the country the chance to guest blog on Bouncebackfood.co.uk and cook a recipe of their choice. The only condition? Their recipe has to include one of Bounceback Food’s staple products that we sell on a ‘one for you, one for society’ basis in support of FareShare UK and The Trussell Trust.

Here’s how you make it!
