I eat veggies with yellowing leaves and I remove soft bits from carrots and eat the rest, I rely on my local food banks but often they give us veggies that are about to go off so I have to batch-cook immediately. Very grateful to the kind people that donate

Carleigh B, you get a standing ovation 👏 from me, my friend. I am just so proud to have you as part of the vegan plant-based community. I cant wait to cook my way through this beauty as I have your first cookbook. I seriously feel I could clear off my cookbook shelf and just put yours there solo. Wonderful!

Great show. I'm a "scrappy chef " from way back. My parents grew up during the depression, and my mother never wasted food. Every container was emptied completely, and even potato peels were washed, seasoned, and roasted in the oven to make sort of potato "chips". I still hate to waste anything!

So glad you had ‘our’ Carleigh on the show! 😉🇨🇦🙌🏻 Love her & so happy for her success.

I love this cookbook!! Just made the skillet lasagna and my non-vegan husband loves it too! He marked the page to be sure I’d make it again. So sorry for your loss, I know your mom is proud of you. Take care.💜

This episode is definitely on my "top ten" list among the hundreds of Exam Room episodes I've listened to over the years. I promptly purchased the new Scrappy Cooking cookbook after listening. So many fun and practical ideas for healthy and environmentally responsible food! I love the "Got this? Make that" chapter. And you have inspired me to henceforth skip the plastic bags in the produce section of my supermarket. Thank you Chuck and Carleigh!

I wash and reuse bags at home and at grocery stores

It is so special that your mum’s photo is in your book. 💜

I'm happy to say that food waste in my household is minimal (like 5% max) but I'm always looking for ways to use the things that go into the compost bin, so using peels is "a-peeling" (yes I went there).

I’m in Canada, have never used a delivery service and it is STILL stupid expensive. Costco yes, but I go there at least once a month still. I love Costco 😅 I am far too picky to let someone else grab my items. I know I’ll be disappointed, especially on the best before dates. Often in stores now I’m seeing BBD today or expired and it’s still full price!

Worms in a worm composting farm do love coffee grounds and of course they make a great body scrub.

I am loving this!!! Carleigh I have been following you for sometime now…I am buying your cookbook today!!! Thanks Chuck!!!

My book should arrive tomorrow and I can’t wait!

I have both cookbooks and love them. I have also been a subscriber to the app Plant You. I was trying to access this yesterday and I appear to be locked out. There is a message in my settings that says my subscription expired yesterday, 5/25 and there is no option to renew.

Put them on your rose bushes!

Good

Given the title, I guess I was expecting a lot more recipes made from scrappy ingredients. I still really like a lot of the recipes and look forward to making many of em soon.

Just received both books last week 😊

Oil in Earl Grey tea? I'll have to check the ingredients in mine, thanks for the tip Chuck
