Reducing Food Waste: Kate Hall’s Freezer Strategies and Influencer Insights

We open the episode with an introduction to our guest, Kate Hall from The Full Freezer method who is a passionate advocate for reducing household food waste through innovative freezer usage.  As a seasoned author and influencer in sustainable living practices, Kate elaborates on her Full Freezer method that empowers individuals to better manage their meals using freezers as strategic tools. Kate explains how freezing acts as a 'pause button' for ingredients that may otherwise spoil if left unused. She introduces practical techniques such as chopping vegetables like peppers before storing them flat in bags—facilitating quicker defrosting when needed spontaneously during meal prep. The discussion then delves deeper into personalising freezer organisation based on individual cooking habits and challenges. By doing so, people can maintain flexibility in their diets while minimising wastage—a win-win for both wallets and planet earth! Kate also shares her journey from how managing illness-induced meal planning struggles led her down this path towards becoming an influential figure advocating against unnecessary kitchen disposals to now becoming a successful business owner using her passion for improving food waste.
