In the UK alone, households throw out seven million tonnes of food and drink every year, more than half of which is food and drink we could have eaten.
Lexi Sandon’s Zero Waste Vegetable Book provides 38 tasty vegetarian recipes that utilise foods we often throw out, from potato peelings to squishy fruit to unused egg yolks.
Eating the whole fruit or vegetable not only means wasting less money and reducing the impact on the environment, it’s also healthier. Often the parts we discard contain vital minerals and are rich sources of fibre.
Recipes in the Zero Waste Vegetable Book include:
Hungarian apple soup
Beet greens risotto
Bread and butter pudding
Broccoli stalk pesto
Omega seed mix and quinoa salad
Roast radish and turnip focaccia
And many more…
