Many of us may not even realize how often we waste food, nor the impact that waste can have on our communities. When you make a concerted effort to avoid waste, you won’t be throwing away money or nutrition. Reducing your food waste has the potential to have a positive impact on your health, your budget, and the environment. This realization makes it even more convincing to work on wasting less, and that effort begins at home.

Zero waste cooking is a strategy to reduce food waste. It’s about using all the food that you purchase, grow, or have access to, and leaving behind as little food and packaging as possible. It’s something to feel good about as you save money and reduce your impact on the planet.

Zero waste cooking is about adopting a philosophy to waste less food in your household no matter what your dietary choices are (of course I still want you to make mostly healthy ones!). It’s about learning how to grocery shop more mindfully and efficiently to maximize your food and your food budget. It’s also about having a plan for the food you buy and storing food properly.
