It's all about enjoying a good meal, yet Nosh Food Rescue Odd Plate Dinners aim to serve diners a delectable meal and provide a great evening out with large helpings of feel-good factor. The organisation's goal is to raise awareness about surplus food repurposing and food insecurity in South Africa.

For R350 a person, you will be served a multiple course fine dining-style dinner using rescued food items and prepared by chef Carien van Tonder, principal at HTA School of Culinary Arts working with a group of the school's chefs in training.

It is a feast I can vouch for, as I also enjoyed an excellent Odd Plate Dinner a few months ago. More than the great meal, it was the infectious enthusiasm of the students which made for an enlightening evening that offered a new understanding of repurposing food and insight into the excellent work the director of NPO Nosh Food Rescue, Hanneke van Linge, does.

So book your ticket for a meal with a difference which also comes with a feel-good factor.
