      <image:title>Blog - Big Fig Locals: Why They Keep Coming Back for Seconds - We went SUC-free (Single-Use Cup-free) in 2019</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the many sustainability initiatives going on in this amazing little town of Wanaka is a drive to eliminate single-use cups from our landfill. It’s called SUC-free (Single-Use Cup-free) Wanaka and one of our owners is on the steering group. Big Fig was one of the first to take a deep breath and stop offering single-use cups in 2019. We encourage customers to BYO cups, drink-in or shell out $3 for a fully-refundable Again Again loan cup. Has it been detrimental to our business? Absolutely not. 99% of takeaway customers have been fully supportive since day one. Our staff are as proud of it as we owners are – and we’ve gained a whole heap of storage space. What’s not to love about all that? Find out more about the SUC-free Wanaka project here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Slow food, served fast - In 2009, I was travelling in Lebanon with my partner Caroline and four of my 10 siblings. Near our hotel in Beirut was a tiny farmers market with a sign that read ‘Slow Food’ in English. I was as attracted to those words as I was to the heaped up tomatoes and shiny aubergines and sheaves of flat-leaf parsley. I now think of it as a message from my future. The Slow Food movement is about using fresh seasonal ingredients and local produce and taking time to turn them into thoughtful, delicious dishes. To me, it’s evocative of food slowly simmering on the stove, barely a bubble, while time transforms it into something that makes everyone smile and nod.</image:title>
