Blasta Books Publishes WASTED by Chef Conor Spacey

Do you find yourself repeating the same cycle of getting to the end of the week, clearing out the past-best food in your fridges, chucking peels and off cuts into the food bin and promising to make more of an effort to reduce food waste next time? If so, the latest release in the Blasta book series, WASTED by Chef Conor Spacey, is one for you.

WASTED is a capsule collection of recipes that have come from identifying some of the most commonly wasted food items in our homes. Chef Conor Spacey, a long-standing sustainability champion, will help you to stop wasting food and turn perfectly good ingredients into delicious dishes, like the zero-waste creations he has become known for on the Six O’Clock Show.

Taking small steps to make a big difference around kitchen waste, WASTED is packed with fresh ideas to use up surplus food and 30 tempting plant-based recipes. Conor also introduces recipes using vegetable butchery, breaking down the whole ingredient into all their delicious parts, from root to tip.

We are so excited to dive into this timely guide to reducing food waste, with plant-packed recipes like Roasted Carrots with Carrot Skin Dukkah, Carrot Top Pesto and Labneh and Pumpkin Noodles with Roasted Pumpkin Seeds & Pumpkin Skin Lardons catching our eye immediately.

WASTED is more than a cookbook, it also features a special pull-out mind-map to help you come up with even more ways to use surplus food, to think about everything – every ingredient, every vegetable, every part – and change your mindset on how to cook.
