This book makes the daunting task of reducing kitchen waste easy, exciting, and delicious!" --JOEL MACCHARLES AND DANA HARRISON, authors of Batch Excerpt from Book INTRODUCTION Growing up, I would often see my dad hunched over the kitchen table with a plate of odd bits from the fridge. A little mustard, a few pickled goods, some bread."Cleaning out the fridge," he would say. Our Monday meals of Spam and leftover veggie hash patties came from Sundays supper, served with ketchup. Was it the healthiest approach? Probably not. But it did make me think about using leftovers,reducing food waste, and eating on a budget from an early age. As I got older and started cooking and enjoying my time in the kitchen more and more, I turned my obsessive love of cooking into a career. When I first started as a food stylist, I couldnt believe how much food was thrown away.After securing that perfect burger advertisement or filming a favorite food TV challenge, my colleagues would chuckle as I loaded up my work bins with leftover scraps from shoots to bring home. I spent weekends pawning off food, which my colleagues didnt claim, on family and friends, making one too many fruit pies or huge batches of soups with those leftovers. I found it so difficult to throw out food. And so I developed a simple practice of batch cooking week to week, using it as the opportunity to clean out my fridge and freezer, and experiment. And, over the years, my favorite recipes became those that were most adaptable to the ingredients I had kicking around the kitchen. Fancy Fried Rice, for example, combines leftover rice, with whatever bits of this or that I had on hand. Then I can use the leftovers into Packed Peppers the next day. After developing these and more food waste solutions in my own kitchen, I realized there needs to be a book that shares these kinds of practical, everyday solutions for using up the food we typically toss aside. And Cook More, Waste Less was born. As I have been writing this cookbook, food waste has become an increasingly hot topic, and a global one at that. Globally, 1.3 billion tons of the total food produced is lost before it even reaches the market because of poor farming infrastructures. I dont even want to tell you how much money that is (spoiler alert: its over 1 trillion dollars!). And currently one-third of all the food produced in the world is wasted (while sadly over 800 million people are suffering from malnutrition, 1 in 4 households have encountered food insecurity in the US, while 1 in 8 households have experienced food insecurity in Canada). We all play a part: on average we unwittingly throw away one in every four bags of groceries we buy. The problem with food waste is multi-fold: when we toss aside perfectly edible food rather than using it, not only are we creating needless waste and negatively impacting the environment by adding more methane into the atmosphere (not to mention, wasting our own valuable dollars), but we are perpetuating the demand for more food to be produced overall; and the more food that is produced, the more detrimental the impact on the environment. Consumer expectations for ever more perfect produce also causes food waste as retailers reject what they dont thinktheyll sell before it even hits shelves. You could write a whole book about global food waste (and yes, there are whole books written on this subject). Im not here to make you feel guilty. I dont want to cram facts and food politics down your throat. I know I get overwhelmed by these startling facts. As much as I would love to change food policies and technologies to reduce the carbon footprint of our food systems, it takes a village to make changes and its going to take time. During COVID-19, farmers and food systems have been hit hard, making many of us reflect even more on our own food and consumption habits. Lots more people have chosen to take the time and effort to grow their own food as a result,yet sometimes struggle to use up all the bounty from their garden, facing a different challenge about waste. Along the way I have learned there is only one thing we have immediate, direct control of: our own consumption habits, i.e., how we buy,store, eat, and dispose of our food. My hope with this cookbook is to show how you can make small changes and work toward minimizing your food waste. Even simple, small shifts in how we buy,cook, and eat food can make a significant difference to the amount of food wast we produce. And if going zero waste feels unattainable, remind yourself regularly,as I do, that it is a goal and not a hard target. Included in these pages are some basic strategies and tools to help you start this zero-waste journey and get you thinking about new ways of planning your meals, and buying and preparing food. The recipes demonstrate creative ideas to use up what is already in your fridge, freezer, and pantry, as well as how to transform leftovers, and how to use the often-overlooked parts of food (from onion skins to banana peels) we might usually throw away. We wont solve the worlds problems all at once, and you dont have to change your life overnight, but we can begin with simple, actionable steps focused on what youll eat next--and what you wont throw away. Whether you are an environmentally or socially conscious eater, someone working with a tight food budget, or just looking for new ideas for what to cook, I hope you enjoy this journey towards zero waste. --Christine Details ISBN0525610650 Author Christine Tizzard Language English ISBN-10 0525610650 ISBN-13 9780525610656 Format Paperback Short Title Zero-Waste Kitchen Year 2021 Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Publication Date 2021-09-07 AU Release Date 2021-09-07 NZ Release Date 2021-09-07 US Release Date 2021-09-07 UK Release Date 2021-09-07 Publisher Random House USA Inc Imprint Appetite by Random House Subtitle Zero-Waste Recipes to Use Up Groceries, Tackle Food Scraps, and Transform Leftovers DEWEY 641.5 Audience General Pages 272 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
