Competition time

The cooler nights will soon start drawing in, which means comfort food will be on the menu. There’s nothing that says this more than a one-pot stew, chilli or curry which has been cooking all day ready to enjoy with minimal effort. And the good news is it’s around 20p cheaper per meal to use a slow cooker than an electric oven, meaning if you use your slow cooker on average three times a week you’ll make an annual saving of over £30. With energy costs soaring, it’s definitely worth investigating.

This is why we’re giving you the chance to win a slow cooker, accompanied by a cooking on a budget recipe book and a £25 grocery voucher towards ingredients for your first few meals. All you have to do is email competition@ravenht.org.uk by 11:59pm on Monday 31st October with your favourite budget or slow cooker meal recipe (or link). The lucky winner will be randomly selected and all entries will be shared in a blog on our website. Only one entry per person, entrants must be over 18 and a Raven customer please. Thank you and good luck!
