Seasonal Kitchen Guide
from Food Shift
Close out the year and start 2023 with food and budget saving in mind. Food Shift created a beautiful Seasonal Kitchen Guide that can be downloaded and kept on your phone or desktop as a monthly reference and reminder to make the most of the food you have.

The Seasonal Kitchen Guide, created in partnership with StopWaste, celebrates the bounty of nature, our resilience, and well-being by highlighting twelve produce items, readily available and affordable in Alameda County, in a calendar-style format. The template allows for a more inclusive and holistic approach that rethinks our roles in the kitchen and reimagines it as a place where we come together to nourish and be nourished.
