Eco event today aims to reduce waste and encourage more people to share recipe ideas
It's similar to a clothes swap
There's a kitchen cookery book and utensil swap today to help families struggling with rising costs.
The event in Exmouth at the salvation army hall is from 1230pm until 2pm.
Zoey Cooper, who is behind it, says she says it's also about reducing waste and they're trying it as part of a usual clothes swap event.
The town council's Climate Officer, said: "We're trying to encourage people to reduce the amount of things that they throw away - and to think about sharing or swapping before they go to chuck something in the bin.
"We've been hosting big clothing swaps, once a month, for about a year now encouraging people to bring clothes, shoes, accessories that they don't want any more - as long as they are clean and in good condition. They can bring them along and swap them for more clothes, shoes and accessories.
"If they don't have anything to swap they can make a pledge for the planet, or they can make a donation.
"This time we've decided to extend the swapping opportunity to cookery books. We're aware that you have your favourite cookery book and then maybe you get tired of cooking the same recipe, or maybe you've been trying to be vegetarian for a while and maybe now you don't want to pursue that.
"Why not, instead of throwing away your book or giving your book to a charity shop, why not bring your book to our event and swap it for another cookery book?
