The Zero-Waste Chef

After a decade of minimizing plastic use, food waste, and excess possessions, Anne-Marie Bonneau, known as the Zero-Waste Chef, understands that zero waste is primarily an intention rather than a strict rule. While one person eliminating all waste is admirable, if thousands improve by just 20 percent, the collective impact on the planet is far greater.

Fortunately, most people already have the tools needed to start making changes at home, particularly in the kitchen. In her debut book, Bonneau presents motivating facts, simple and often free solutions—such as replacing plastic wrap by covering leftovers with an inverted plate—and practical recipes and strategies to help readers become more sustainable and cost-effective cooks.
