- "Uneaten meals, food preparation scraps, items expired or spoiled--it all adds up. Chef Michael Love believes that wasted food has a place in the kitchen. He believes that wasted food can be salvaged, transformed in innovative ways into delicious gourmet meals that will both reduce waste and save families money. The Salvage Chef Cookbook is an accessible, comprehensive guide to repurposing food destined for the trash bin that will be sure to wow struggling families and professional chefs alike. This book is far more than a series of scrumptious recipes; it begins by setting the groundwork for the problem of food waste, and then teaches readers about the most efficient cooking tools for food repurposing and how to both increase food shelf life and determine when food is truly spoiled. The 125-plus recipes are interposed with culinary wisdom accumulated from Love's years of experience and are designed to highlight salvaged items in surprising and delectable ways. The question, "To salvage, or not to salvage?" is tackled throughout, and the cookbook concludes with the innovative Salvage Index, a conclusive list of leftover items used in the book's recipes designed to help readers decide what meal they can prepare from the ingredients they have. The Salvage Chef Cookbook is a culinary must-have featuring old favorites reimagined through salvaged food to create dishes both familiar and exciting"--
