Synopsis

In the UK we throw away 6.7 million tonnes of food a year - that's a third of all the food we buy, and a fifth of our total domestic waste. And about half of it could be eaten.
Kate Colquhoun shows how to make your food go much, much further than you thought possible. On her mission to use up leftovers, wrinkly fruit and past-it veg, she includes modern, tasty recipes for:

Bakes

Casseroles

Chutneys

Crumbles

Curries

Fishcakes

Gratins

Marinades

Meatballs

Milkshakes

Pies Soups

Stews

Stir-fries

And more!
