About the author:

I am a zero-waste plant-based chef, who spent over a decade working in restaurants across the world, from bistros to
Michelin stars, and from England to Cambodia.

I have opened the first zero-waste vegan restaurant in the world, realised that it's perfectly possible to avoid the majority of food waste in every restaurant's kitchen and wrote a book about it to make it easier for you to do the same. 

FAQ:

What is the ultimate solution to reduce food waste?

Prevention. If you prevent your food waste, you don't need to deal with it.

How can I prevent food waste?

By changing the way you treat and prepare ingredients, by changing the way you are planning your menu and by changing your mindset. To simply put, if it's not on the plate, then it's a waste.
