How to package edible items

 
1) Container

Before you wrap up your present make sure your food is in an air tight container or wrapped up in a zip bag at least.


2) Label it

Label your food and tell people what it is.

3) Ingredient Lists

It is always a good practice to provid ingredient lists, just in case the other person who you are giving the present to has some sort of food allergies or special dietary requirements.

4) Serving Suggestion

Not everyone will know what to do with the present that you have given them. Most of my food blogs come with serving suggestions of some sort, so do write them down if you can.

5) Wrap it

Reduce rubbish by reusing materials such as coffee sacks from your local coffee roastry.


If you are in Wellington, you can source your old coffee sags (should be free) from:

Caffe Laffare - 27 College Street, Wellington
The Immigrant's Son - 10 Elizabeth Street, Mount Victoria, Wellington
People's Coffee - 12A Constable Street, Newtown, Wellington
Mojo - Shed 13, Waterfront, Wellington
Supreme - 35 Hopper Street, Te Aro, Wellington
Havana - 163 Tory Street, Wellington
