Cooking with #ZeroWaste with the City of #Boston: The #Recipes!

February 7, 2023

"Over the summer we got to work with the City of Boston on the launch of their new curbside food waste collection program! As budding food waste management nerds, we were super excited to help spread the word on how to use the bins as well as how to keep food out of landfill!

Here are some of the Use-It-Up hero recipes we demoed: a Thai-style curry, a frittata, and rice fritters. They’ll help you use up your #leftovers, clear out your fridge, and get a delicious meal on the table fast!"

#FoodWasteFeast - All-The-Veggies #Bolognese

March 4, 2022

"A Bolognese-style sauce that uses up all the veggies in the fridge is a big win in our book! Perfect for cold weather and clearing out your entire crisper drawer. It’s by no means an authentic Bolognese but its feels and tastes rich and meaty, whether you include meat or not. I’m a big fan of stashing a big pot in your fridge to ladle onto pasta, polenta, roasted veggies, rice, eggs, or whatever else you like.

This one used up the following items that had been hanging around the kitchen:

- 5 slightly wrinkled tomatoes and a half-opened jar of tomato sauce that’s been sitting in the fridge for….weeks?
- A tub of verging-on-too-old mushrooms
- An entire head of broccoli (I often use cauliflower here as well)
- Two carrots that just needed a few brown spots trimmed off
- An entire head of celery

Huge, right? I can’t think of many more dishes that welcome everything from root veggies to brassicas to any kind of mushroom, plus tomatoes in any form whatsoever. Plus they can be old, wrinkly, shriveled, and generally not-great-looking at all, but as long as they’re not moldy or rotten, you can get some good use out of them in this sauce!"

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 110: Feminist Food Studies

Feminist studies and food studies have a fascinating history of difference, alignment, and emergence. This episode covers some of that span, from a laborious recipe for baked rice pudding (without eggs…!) to a themed issue of Canadian Food Studies (Vol. 5 No. 1) that is dedicated to feminist food studies (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v5i1). Lots of voices this week, including Jennifer Brady, Barbara Parker, Elaine Power, Liz Lovell, Steph Chartrand, and of course the inimitable Alexia Moyer.

This week's #FoodWaste challenge: what can I do with ten limes?

I've tried searching for recipes, but all I've found is intense faff, ingredients I don't have, or would maybe use two or three of them.

So, Fediverse, any suggestions?

"Over a seven-day period, the Kai Keeper participants across Auckland, Bay of Plenty and Waikato took part in a pilot assessment where more than 13 tonnes of food waste were generated from the preparation of 108,730 meals.

...

The 13 tonnes of food waste is estimated to have cost businesses a combined $102,000 in lost value over the seven-day period based on food purchasing and waste management costs."

Results of that food rescue route I mentioned! A lot of produce. Neighbors came and grabbed a lot of the veggies when it came in. I put the rest into the fridge for others to grab later.

This was one vendor on one night.

We throw away so much good food.

I'm going to go find more food.
