Del Monte has launched a partnership with cookery author and TV personality, Lisa Faulkner to promote the benefits of eating canned fruit.

Faulkner will create a number of seasonal recipes for Christmas, Veganuary and Easter using Del Monte’s canned fruit.

“I’ve always been a big fan of cooking with canned fruit for a range of reasons. Not only is it super convenient as there’s less preparation needed and less waste than with fresh fruit, but it’s also great value for money,” Faulkner said.

“With a brand like Del Monte, you are guaranteed consistency of quality and taste, plus they have a range of fruit that’s available all year around.”

Del Monte UK and Europe senior commercial director, Martin Tilney added: “Lisa is known for creating inspiring, family-friendly dishes that are nourishing, convenient and inexpensive.

“This ethos aligns perfectly with Del Monte’s vision of promoting healthy eating, but with budget in mind. Lisa’s creativity and passion is inspiring and we are very excited to be working with such an influential chef and TV star to bring our values to life.”
