The FoodFutures Closing Loops project winter recipe challenge invites everyone in North Lancashire to share a favourite recipe.
Along with your recipe, we’d love to hear the story behind it. Where is it from, and who taught you how to cook this recipe? What do you like best about it? Does it use any special ingredients, perhaps some that have a local tradition? 
Tastes of North Lancashire
The tastes of North Lancashire have many different facets. We’d love to hear about recipes that are good for the planet – for instance using seasonal, locally produced and organic ingredients. Or your recipe could be influenced by international cuisines and use Fairtrade ingredients. Perhaps these ingredients were transported by ship to Lancaster rather than plane? Does it help you reduce waste by using up surplus food and leftovers? It could also be something really easy to make and budget-friendly, using ingredients from your local cornershop, or your kids’ favourite way of eating vegetables.
Submit your recipe by 31st January 2025 to be in with a chance to win one of three £25 vouchers for Gather North Lancashire Food Hub.
Your recipe will also be considered for publication in THRIVE, North Lancashire’s community food magazine.
The winners of the recipe challenge will be announced in March 2025 at Lancaster’s Spring Market.
