My philosophy about food and eating habits is one of reason. For dietary changes to have any impact — whether on your body, your budget, or the environment — those changes must be reasonable and doable. Extreme measures are rarely sustainable. Zero waste cooking can save you money and may even improve your nutrient intake. It also has a positive impact on the environment, reducing the overall methane emissions that result from the food waste that goes from your kitchen to landfills. This book aims to help you reduce your food waste, no matter what you eat.

This book aims to help and encourage you to waste less food.

Many zero waste cooking books adopt the notion that to have a positive impact on the environment, you must focus almost entirely on eating more plants and removing animal products from the diet. This book doesn’t. The notion that everyone can (or wants to) adopt a vegetarian diet is simply unrealistic. Instead, this book encourages you to give more thought to what you eat, and what you throw away, while you begin to adopt a budget-friendly diet that balances your use of a variety of foods with less waste and less harm to the environment.
