Every year, each German produces several hundred kilograms of waste – this is alarming and burdens the environment. Fortunately, many people are now changing their mindset and trying to use resources more consciously and throw away as little as possible. Nevertheless, a large part of our waste still consists of food! After all, what should one do with carrot tops or a cauliflower stem? Eat them!, says Veronika Pichl. After all, this seemingly "useless accessory" of many foods is indeed usable and enjoyable and definitely does not belong in the trash. This book shows what delicious dishes can be created from asparagus peels, broccoli stems, and more. In addition to many recipes, it also provides tips for the kitchen, bathroom, and household, such as a shampoo made from avocado pits.
