The IKEA ScrapsBook: A Waste-less Cookbook

I think this is a fabulous book that will change the way some people engage with their food, leftovers, and things past their prime. While I agree there is space to educate people on scrapless cooking and "old school" cooking, there is also space for a book such as this. Some will balk at using scraps; others will marvel at the thought. I look forward to changing what goes into my compost bucket each day and am already realizing there is more in store for my freezer bag of veggie ends than just soup stock. THANK YOU to the Chefs who made this book happen; I can't wait to add to my reduce, reuse, recycle mindset and extend it in this new way to my menu planning. Bon appetit!

It's a neat idea but looking through it what are the chances that I'll just happen to have the scraps I need to make the recipe? It would be better to teach people scrapless cooking, ie rustic mash potatoes (where you don't peel the potatoes) or to use the broccoli stem in the main dish etc. I do the aforementioned things so you'd book is not something I'll use. Granted the corn cob one is using scraps, but when we eat corn people are chewing on their cobs, I'm not going to cook with something everyone has had their mouths on.

Lots of terrific ideas! Many l knew, but l am an older gal. Some real surprises though! Will tell my like minded friends and family.
