In this episode, the third in a monthly series, Joanne runs through some ideas to reduce food waste and save money by storing foods well and using them up effectively.

This episode is about courgettes and summer squashes so there are some ideas about how to store courgettes and thin skinned squash to make them last longer, and stop them going off. This includes how to store them in the kitchen, how to freeze them and how to dry them.

And then there are a few good ideas on how to use up a glut of courgettes or any spares left over from a recipe.

The episode includes our monthly Q&A with Kate Hall from The Full Freezer on how to freeze courgettes and summer squash.
