- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A handy guide with tricks and tips for throwing out less food, from carefully planning your menus and groceries to recipes using that sour milk or leftovers to best advantage.I'm a single woman and keep myself on a tight food budget, but at the end of the week I often find myself with a surplus and scrambling to use up food before it goes bad. I was interested in seeing what Gunders would suggest for wasting even less, and this book delivers. Some things were good reminders - buy less food, plan to buy ingredients that you will use more than once - and others were brand new to me. The book is organized into three major sections: strategies from buying to cooking; recipes; and a directory by food type. The strategies begin with buying and take you right up through composting. Composting is not feasible for me, but I learned a lot about food storage and how to know if food is really "bad" or just decomposing normally (ie., vegetables get wilted and are still okay to eat; try putting them in ice water or cooking). Many of the recipes were designed in such a way to have a lot of "wiggle room" for using what's on hand; I would definitely try Sour Milk Pancakes, Fried Rice, and Black Bean Brownies (which are gluten free to boot). I didn't read the directory word-for-word, but she takes you through every major food group and several examples of each, giving storage tips (refrigerate? freeze?), how long it will stay "good," and suggestions for using it up.I learned a lot I can incorporate into my planning and cooking, and definitely want my own copy of this to reference in the future.
