Have you ever found yourself standing in your kitchen, starting at a cluttered pantry, wondering what to make for dinner? Do you sometimes leave food in your fridge for a few extra weeks, just to avoid the guilt of throwing it away?

In 2022, we founded Gumbo with a mission to help home cooks reduce household food waste and save money on their weekly grocery bills. Our platform was designed to overcome the challenge of figuring out what to cook with the miscellaneous ingredients that accumulate over time.

Thanks to grants from Loughborough University and Santander at the beginning of 2023, we were able to continue developing the platform. As a result, Gumbo has grown significantly, and we're now focused on adding additional meal planning tools, diets and grocery list to the site.

We also have a blog where we share tips and insights on reducing food waste and cooking. And if you ever have any questions, feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. We're always happy to hear from our community of home cooks who share our mission to create a more sustainable food system.
