Get Your Hands on Blasta Books Latest Release – ‘Wasted’ by Chef Conor Spacy

WASTED is a capsule collection of recipes that have come from identifying some of the most wasted food items in our homes. Chef Conor Spacey will help you to stop wasting food and turn perfectly good ingredients into delicious dishes.

Taking little steps to make a big difference around kitchen waste, WASTED presents ideas and ways to use up surplus food alongside 30 plant-based recipes. Conor also introduces recipes using vegetable butchery, breaking down the whole ingredient into all their delicious parts, from root to tip. Try Roasted Carrots with Carrot Skin Dukkah, Carrot Top Pesto and Labneh or Pumpkin Noodles with Roasted Pumpkin Seeds & Pumpkin Skin Lardons.

Including a special pull-out mind-map, WASTED will challenge you to think about everything – every ingredient, every vegetable, every part – and change your mind set on how to cook.

You can purchase the book at Blasta Books for €15
