Waste Free Kitchen

Dana Gunders, Natural Resources Defense Council, author and return guest!

Leave it to Dana Gunders to do all she does for the planet AND write the Waste Free Kitchen Handbook - a guide to eating well and saving money by wasting less food coming to bookstores near you on September 29th. Even though there seems to be a growing awareness of food waste, many well-intentioned home cooks lack the tools to change their habits. This handbook - packed with engaging checklists, simple recipes, practical strategies, and educational infographics - promises to be the ultimate tool for reducing food waste. Dana provides solutions! From a scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council come these everyday techniques that call for minimal adjustments of habit - from shopping, portioning, and using a refrigerator properly to simple preservation methods including freezing, pickling, and cellaring. From the reviews I read, the book will be a good read and a go-to reference as well as a handy guide chock-full of helpful facts and tips, including 20 "use-it-up" recipes and a substantial directory of common foods. Bring it on Dana - the world needs your wisdom! This show made possible through the generous support of Habitat for Humanity Tucson.
