In honor of Stop Food Waste Day, follow these savvy, scrappy recipes to bring the zero-waste approach to your own kitchen! At Bon Appétit Management Company, our approach to waste reduction prioritizes preventing waste at the source, which includes cooking from “stem to root” and reimagining delicious uses for less-conventionally-used scraps.
