MAKING a wedding sustainable doesn’t have to involve compromises on the food front, especially when Cork-based chef and caterer Orla McAndrew is in charge of your menu.

McAndrew started offering her Zero Waste Wedding Packages last September and there’s been a lot of interest in the meals she makes from rescued produce that would otherwise go to waste. And the popularity is not surprising, with dishes like rabbit and blackberry filo parcels, Wagyu beef cassoulet with beef heart, and Eton mess with lemon curd featuring at these no-waste weddings.
