Waste not, want not: this is a cookbook to help keep a low carbon footprint. First off and most importantly, the recipes are good. Second, the recipes come with tips on how to use the vegetable cuttings we usually throw away. Let’s look at the universally loved banana. The recipes: Banana Pancakes, Banana and Rum Crème Caramel, and the requisite Banana Bread (except this one comes with a side of banana ice cream!). Not in the mood to make something when the bananas are ripe? Suggestions are provided for what to make with frozen bananas. Now you’ve got those pesky banana peels. There are suggestions for the peels. (Turns out the peels are heck on aphids.) Besides bananas, this book also stars lemon peels, potato peels, and many other veggie bits we usually throw away.
