Buy Less, Buy Whole, Use it All
ABC Radio Canberra Breakfast host Lish Fejer is joined by Alex Elliott-Howery and Jaimee Edwards discussing their book, Use It All: The Cornersmith Guide to a More Sustainable Kitchen.
This practical handbook is an invitation to reduce food waste while eating generously. It’s a book for people juggling real life and trying to make better choices in their kitchens.
For years Alex Elliott-Howery and Jaimee Edwards, from boundary-breaking food community Cornersmith, experimented in their home kitchens to figure out how to feed their families efficiently, affordably and sustainably. The result is this invaluable guide to modern food wisdom.
Use It All offers a simple, delicious way to cook and eat by buying less, wasting less and making more with what you’ve got.
