I’m not really one to ‘meal plan’. Even if, interestingly, that is often touted as quite an effective way to reduce food waste in the kitchen. If I’m honest, I just never get organized. Instead, I like to invest in one ingredient, and see what I can add to it from the excess odds and ends I have lying around [perhaps you can relate…]. So. Dry Chickpeas.

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.
