An unusual cook book

You can surprise your friend with an unusual cook book, that shows how delicious the parts of our vegetables we usually throw away. Lindsay-Jean Hard presents a collection of 85 recipes in “Cooking with Scraps: Turn Your Peels, Cores, Rinds, and Stems into Delicious Meals“. We’re thrilled too, of course, because Lindsey doesn’t forget to point out that a good olive oil is an important ingredient. The hardcover version is not even very expensive, so why don’t you combine it with a bottle of il circolo olive oil to make it a worthy gift.

“I love this book not only because the recipes are delightful and easy, but because they matter. Cooking with Scraps shows us how to utilize the whole plant, to the betterment of our palate, our pocketbook, and our place. You can’t go wrong with a cookbook this right.” — Eugenia Bone, author of The Kitchen Ecosystem.
