During the months of August through December, there are a surfeit of cookbook releases which requires that some promotions are delayed. This delay does not mean the books I cover now aren't as incredible, it just means time is needed to adequately convey these books greatness. One such title is Cooking with Scraps: Turn Your Peels, Cores, Rinds, and Stems into Delicious Meals: 85 Scrumptious Recipes for Zero-Waste Cooking by Lindsay-Jean Hard.

 

 

Lindsay-Jean writes the "Cooking with Scraps" column for Food52 and in her debut cookbook she demonstrates how delicious and surprising the all-too-often-discarded parts of food can be, transforming what might be considered trash into culinary treasure in over 85 recipes. 

The book is stunningly photographed by Penny de los Santos and includes not only the author's wealth of tips and knowledge in limiting food waste, but also dishes that appear to be unfairly placed in a book with the word scraps in the title. Danish pancakes with apple-core syrup, Shortbread with honey-glazed grapefruit peel and pink peppercorns and Soba noodles with ginger marmalade dipping sauce are just a few examples of what you will find here.

The book is moving from my library shelf to my kitchen bookcase because I want to use all of the ingredients I pay for and having it in plain site will be a reminder to myself.
