How often do you throw away the peel of a pineapple, yet there is still lots of fruit and flavor left in it?  What about broccoli stems, or apple cores? In this episode we meet Lindsay-Jean Hard, author of the cookbook Cooking with Scraps. She shares new and creative ways to look at peels, cores, rinds and stems as underutilized ingredients rather than parts to be thrown out. Once you see the potential, you will no doubt have fun coming up with your own ideas that are healthy for us and good for our environment!

Happy Earth Day! We are thrilled to bring you this special episode where we explore the amazing connection between what we eat, where it comes from, and who was involved in its production. Our guest Jenny Breen has been a part of the the local movement in the Twin Cities for decades. From her early days of cooking at the Seward Café where she got to interact with the local farmers delivering their produce, to opening and running the Good Life Café, Jenny has incorporated her passion for the local food systems and people within it, into the delicious creations she shares through her educational courses, consultations, coaching, and her cook book Cooking Up the Good Life.  In the episode we learn more about some of the things we can all experiment with while "sheltering in place" that can give us a greater appreciation for the food we eat. We will discover how to fill our pantry with nutritious healthy foods that can sustain us even when fresh produce isn't as plentiful, and what we can do with food items that might have been considered waste, yet still have nutritious value and are truly too good to waste.

Throughout the food supply chain there are so many places where valuable food and food products are lost.  This is often seen as the end of the food supply chain.  A key goal for NETZRO is to help create new integrated solutions that help make what was once seen as "the end of the food supply chain" and turn that into the beginning of a "new food revolution".  For more information, videos and links, check out the Show Notes at https://www.toogoodtowastepodcast.com/post/sue-marshall-netzro.
