Strawberry Gazpacho

Strawberry Gazpacho

As it turns out, for a first-time-maker, hesitant-fan, of gazpacho, I’m rather a fan of this recipe; it beautifully salvages the season’s overripe strawberries, greens included, uses up a handful of day-old bread, keeps refrigerated or frozen, quick AND easy make ahead meal, perfectly refreshing in summer, won first place in last week’s canapés contest and last but not least, is a PROVEN gazpacho converter [myself included, now a huge fan, unbiased I promise]. 

Ratatouille: Every Which Way

Ratatouille: Every Which Way

Ratatouille.  It can be fancy and minimalist.  It can evoke the warm and fuzzy feelings of home.  It can bring to mind the image of a cute French rat.  It can be transformed into epic bestovers.

But part of reducing kitchen waste and upcycling leftovers is about being inspired by what’s in front of you, whether it’s going brown, soft, or simply there because it’s in season.  Be inspired by it.  That floury apple?  Poach it.  That brown banana?  Bake it.  Those blood oranges?  Stick ‘em in a salad with fennel.
