Ahead of street parties taking place next month, I'm looking for catering companies/party planners who have tips on the food you should serve up. I have a whole load of questions on the subject that need answering. Let me know if you're able to help #journorequest

I'm looking for a cooking/food waste expert who can give advice on how you can use up those half-filled jars that clutter up your fridge (think condiments, olives, curry paste, pasta sauce etc). Let me know if that's you! #journorequest

I will absolutely try to do another call out at another point so if you are reading this after I've closed DMs, there will hopefully be future opportunities to get in touch.

I'm slightly overwhelmed by the number of messages I've received. Thanks so much to everyone who's contacted me. I'll do my best to reply to everyone though it may take a few days. I'm going to have to close DMs now as otherwise I'll never get any work done.

Starting the new year off on a positive note, I'm currently on the lookout for freelance food writers. If you're interested in pitching / have any questions on how to do it let me know. DMs open. #journorequest #journalismjobs #freelance

@_rhysthomas_ apologies, try now

@Pollywrites Hi Polly, your DMs aren’t open my end, but interested to learn more:)
