Opis

'Rescue Recipes: Fighting Food Waste, One Meal at a Time' (foreword by Caroline Lucas MP) is a cookery book based on the meals Daniel and Gaëlle cook at one of The Real Junk Food Project's Cafes in Brighton. The core objective of The Real Junk Food Project is a simple one: To intercept food waste destined for landfill and use it to feed people who need it, with healthy and satisfying meals, on a 'pay as you feel' basis. Hence the motto 'feed bellies, not bins'. Each chapter features a common vegetable, offering a series of mainly plant-based recipes, accessible, healthy and delicious. You'll find over 200 recipes for breakfast, snacks, soups, lunch, mains, salads, and desserts. The book includes lots of useful tips for storage, sustainability and information about nutrition. For every recipe, Daniel and Gaëlle also offer, from their extensive repertoire, numerous possibilities to stretch and inspire. Once you've selected your dish, you'll find a chef's list of over 100 songs to cook along with as well as an extensive bibliography. While you can certainly dip into the book, it's a book to be read. Written in a conversational style, you'll get to know Daniel and Gaëlle as they share anecdotes rescuing memories from their lives triggered by the food they're cooking. But they have also traced the roots/routes of many of the recipes rescuing their history in order to provide a context for the food they're making. The book invites the reader to take some time out to reflect on how we cook, what we eat, where we shop.
