101 Tips for a Zero-Waste Kitchen

Kellogg (101 Ways To Go Zero Waste) is on a mission to eliminate food waste and food insecurity in the U.S. According to her book’s figures, the amount of food wasted annually more than covers the quantity needed to eliminate food insecurity. She focuses on home kitchens. Her practical, important handbook breaks down food waste (and how to eliminate it) into several key areas: go to the grocery store with a plan; learn how to store and preserve produce; understand best-by, sell-by, and use-by dates; and know how to use all the parts of produce. This essential guide starts with useful quizzes for readers to understand their habits and shows them how to cultivate better ones. This resource gives solid, practical information about such subjects as seasonal produce and vegetable-specific advice. There are also recipes and creative suggestions to use or consume leftover food scraps or unconventional edibles, such as watermelon rinds or strawberry tops.
