IN THIS CHAPTER

Taking a look at your current food waste

Taking steps to reuse more and buy less

Visualizing a new plan for shopping, cooking, and storing food

The benefits of zero waste cooking go beyond the obvious (less food wasted). You’ll also save money, reduce your garbage at home, and feel better about adding less methane to landfills. You may even experience personal health benefits. You may find yourself eating more vegetables at home and ordering smaller portions when you dine out. In addition, your community can benefit from more food donated or otherwise available. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

The first step to realizing all these benefits of zero waste cooking is to get your head in the game. This chapter helps you process the idea of zero waste and helps you kick-start your journey with some simple strategies that help you plan to use more and waste less.

You find out more about how to reuse food and ingredients in Part 2 and you can find inspiration from the recipes in Part 3.
