Because we love food

Incredible, but true: in Germany, 313 kilograms of edible food is thrown away every second. As soon as a yoghurt passes its best-before date or an apple isn’t quite so fresh, they go in the bin. It’s high time to put an end to this throw-away madness!

The authors call for a return to treating our food with greater respect. They give a succinct but soundly-based explanation of how we can successfully reduce the amount of food we waste every day and make our diet more sustainable. At the heart of the book is a collection of recipes which can be used to conjure up delicious meals from »leftovers«. The guide is rounded off with an introduction to initiatives such as food- sharing and the ugly-food movement, which will make you want to get involved yourself.
