Review Quotes

"A must in every home. Read this book to reduce your food waste in creative, simple, and delicious ways. Better yet, buy this book for your favorite politician or food manufacturer or retailer to let them know that you care about food waste and they should also be doing something about it." --Éric Darier, Senior Greenpeace Campaigner

"This book is a win on all fronts--you save money, spend less time shopping, cook and eat great-tasting meals, and tread more lightly on the planet." --Jennifer Cockrall-King, author of Food and the City

"No one wants to waste food, but sometimes it happens because we don't know the right way to store or use up the food we have. The Waste Not, Want Not Cookbook is full of inspiration and information on how to deal with that slightly wrinkled tomato or aging broccoli. Its essence, however, is a deep understanding of how to treat food with the love and respect it deserves." --Dana Gunders, Staff Scientist at Natural Resources Defense Council and author of The Waste-Free Kitchen Handbook
