  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for using every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable (including the skins, tops, stalks, etc.) during your next meal prep?

    Every time I cook I put the onion skin, mushroom bottoms, potato peels in a plastic bag and at the end of the week I boil it and strain it to get vegetable  broth.
