From the Back Cover

This little book is a treasure trove of ideas for using up ingredients and utilizing every last scrap of food.

Never again discard a dish that went amiss--it can usually be fixed.

Never again throw away an inedible food part--it could be used.

Never again be stumped with what to do with any foodstuff, the tiny amount, or the not-so-tiny amount--it can be prepared, saved, or repurposed in countless ways.

With The Waste-Wise Kitchen Companion at your fingertips, menu planning gets easier; leftovers, fewer; food bills, lower; ruined dishes, scarcer; and, most important, a whole array of food items, formerly destined for the landfill, are at your disposal.
