4 stars
A nice start for learning about food waste and ways to reduce other waste in your home.
A helpful little guide. Nicely written. There are a lot of basic tips in here (reusable bags, shop seasonally) which work well for beginners as well as tips for using things like watermelon rinds and strawberry tops.
There are some great tips for avoiding food waste from the start as well as what to do with food that’s getting a little old. Includes information on meal planning and proper food storage, how to revitalize food, working with food scraps, and ways to use up different types of food. Loved the focus on using up what you have and getting the most out of your food.
The bulk of the book is broken up into different foods and how to utilize them. The index at the back makes for easy reference.
A helpful resource. Works great for beginners but is also worth a look through for those who have already started their waste reduction journey to see what other tips they can implement (borrow a copy from your local library for added sustainability!).
