Our partnership coordinator Selina Treuherz was on Kat’s Kitchen in August BBC Radio Sheffield. She discussed the local food action plan, gut health, Food Works Sheffield and the National Food Service. And since Selina is an accomplished chef she made a delicious meal of charred cabbage, crispy chickpeas, vegan aioli and peppers, and a tomato, redcurrant and peach salad with tomato leaf pesto. Delicious! See the full recipe below.

- 1 ripe peach
- 100g redcurrants
