Chefs are masters at cutting waste, using stems, overlooked cuts of protein, and byproducts like whey to save money and boost flavor.

With chapters featuring whole vegetable cookery, re-using leftovers and preserving techniques —each with a helpful tips and simple suggestions for change in these areas — the book is making waste-free cooking more accessible."—Food Print "Waste Not offers 100 recipes from 61 chefs—alumni of the James Beard Foundation’s Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change, which empowers chefs to advocate for changes in our food system. The book demonstrates how to minimize waste by fully using an ingredient—from root to rind, leaf, stem and bone—in recipes such as Squash Seed Tahini, Fried Beet Stems and Fruit Skin-Crusted Mahi Mahi. Cooking this way, the book’s collaborators promise, will stretch your food dollars, enhance the flavor of your dishes and help the planet." —Local Flavor Magazine
