Little Foodies workshop – edible Christmas trees from fruit and veggie scraps

👩‍🍳 Little Foodies Cooking Workshops are fun, hands-on cooking sessions led by Grandma Sita for kids and families. Inspired by the seasons and celebrations, we create delicious plant-based meals using surplus ingredients—turning food waste into tasty, zero-waste dishes such as spooky snacks, edible holiday trees, and much more. We also offer tailored sessions for schools, after-school programs, associations, and community or cultural organizations. Find out more here: Little Foodies Cooking Workshops.

🎁👩‍🍳 What if the best gift this Christmas were learning how not to waste food? In this family Christmas workshop,  Grandma Sita had lots of fun creating edible Christmas trees full of colour, flavour and magic made from fruits and veggies together with the kids and parents of Forældrenes Børneklub in Copenhagen. All children were welcome, accompanied by their parents or adult companions, creating a space for intergenerational cooking.🎄

🥦🍎 Grandma Sita’s fun Christmas activity aims to prevent food waste and encourage little ones to eat more raw fruits and veggies. The fruits, vegetables, and bread were provided by Too Good To Go‘s Surprise Packs, the number one mobile app against food waste. In every cooking workshop, Grandma Sita inspires action by making the most of rescued food to minimise food waste. Think globally, act locally!

💡♻️ Every year, tons of perfectly good food are thrown away — especially during the holidays — but with creativity and education, we can change that.
This Christmas, let’s make sure no good food ends up in the bin. 🌎✨

 

🎄😱 Looking for a scare this Christmas? A 2-meter-high artificial Christmas tree made from plastic has a carbon footprint of around 40kg of CO2.

♻️ Grandma Sita’s way – You can always get creative and build your tree out of books, wood, paper, or whatever else you can think of, even edible ones like ours. 

👵💚 Tips to save food:
✅ Plan your festive meals and use your leftovers
✅ Store bread, fruits and veggies properly
✅ Choose rescued, “ugly” or discounted ingredients.

📗 Modern Christmas trees originated during the Renaissance in early modern Germany. Its 16th-century origins are sometimes associated with Protestant Christian reformer Martin Luther, who is said to have first added lighted candles to an evergreen tree.
