Yelp Adelaide’s Cooking For A Cause!

Put 20 Yelpers in a room with OzHarvest SA and Silvia Hart from the Seasonal Garden Cafe and you have a recipe for success! Yelp Adelaide was spoilt with an Elite event like no other, combining the power of community with a chance to give back to those less priviledged than us.

Recipe To Cook For A Cause

Serves 224

Ingredients:

• 20 parts Yelper to 1 part Silvia Hart
• 4 rations of OzHarvest volunteers
• $150 worth of ingredients that were heading towards their use by date
• A crap load of enthusiasm, passion and knife work skills

Cooking Instructions:

1. Take 20 parts Yelper on a Saturday afternoon and place in the Adelaide Central Market Kitchen.
2. Mix in 1 part Silvia Hart and a dash of OzHarvest fresh from SA.
3. Your ingredients will start to blend into a sweet, gooey mixture of goodness, chatter and excitement as they start to figure out how you can make the most of every ingredient used in your cooking.
4. Put into stacks of mixing trays and bake for 3 hours.
5. Serve warm for the next 3 days to those in need at Westcare and take pride in your achievements.

Did you know? 

• Australians discard up to 20% of the food they purchase, which equates
  to 1 out of every 5 bags of groceries they buy.
• The average Australian
  household throws away $1,036 of food each year – that’s enough pay off
  your electricity bill for 6 months!
• OzHarvest rescues excess food which
  would otherwise be discarded from restaurants, caterers, hospitality groups etc. This excess food is distributed to
  charities supporting the vulnerable in Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide and
  Brisbane.
