Stop The Food Waste -
The EU alone has at least 88 million tonnes of food wasted every year with the associated costs estimated at 143 billion Euros (~163 billion US dollars).
Since I was forced to become a chef and so have seen some of the worst, I fight against this insanity on all stages and especially at home... We all can do lots of good to keep the food waste / food loss as little as possible to none at all...
- Plan your shopping & consider the budget you have (waste is expensive)
- Check the dates on what you buy... are you eating that before it out-dates?
- Store in the right environment and rotate properly
- Prepare and serve only what you need to "make everybody happy"
- May you freeze some cooked food for a short time
- And PLEASE USE up ALL your LEFTOVERS... you'll find some nice new recipes like that too!
About the loss in all the production levels, why on earth do we have to have "spotless" products. As like the apple with a brown dot is less delicious... actually it is often the opposite. The big food suppliers are not the only problem here, it's more the consumer asking for the "spotless" and the big business behind the whole scene, with all the big money involved who says: The customer is king! And this is only the beginning...
Sorry, but f#*k that. Today most customers are "idiots", not even capable of cooking the easiest meals... and the greedy business is giving them the ready-to-eat meal with all the sickening stuff in it, to save "them" more time for their life. And the multi-nationals are only interested in the big money, they don't give a damn about healthy humans. WTF! What is more important then some sane healthy food... nothing besides some clean fresh water. But that's a story for another time.
And just BTW - the word Diet comes from the ancient Greek word "diaitáō" which means "I treat, handle", or: way of living - mode of life... think about that for once!
Anyway, back to what I wanna share here. No Food Waste or as I call this start of my series: No Waste Of Taste! I will post what I managed to put together with the leftovers I'll find, or show you the how-to of some typical left-over-menus... If you have any questions about cooking or the menu you'll see, please ask in the comments. I'll be happy to answer or help you out on the DIY problems...
Todays No-Waste-Of-Taste-Menu is THE Ultimate Way To Do That:
THE-LEFT-OVER-GRATIN
Now when ever you have no clue what to do with your leftovers, the gratin will "always" save the day. (No Rules Without Exceptions!) So here I went for...
- Potatoes
- Butternut Squash
- Carrots
Dice and mix all together with the
- Dry Bread crushed to crumbs
- Pulled Beef with Garlic
- Leek à la crème
put the whole in a gratin plate and add just enough
- Beef Broth
to have everything just about covered with liquid. Then top it off with...
- Grated Cheese
Put it in the oven @ 220C° for about 40 minutes. If the cheese is getting crispy brown before the end, put a aluminium foil over the plate to preventing it from a "sunburn"...
That's It for today. Now enjoy the left-over cooking. BTW: If ever you like sandwiches?! Come and check out @jaybird's #steemitsandwichcontest with lots of nice folks and the best no-waste-of-taste ideas you'll find on steemit...
peace love and tastiness

When obliged shopping in markets, after you paid for, unpack all the packaging possible, to leave in a bin at the market and I'm talking about everything... plastic, paper etc.
If they're unable to propose/support an ecological way of living, at least they can occupy themselves with the waste disposal. I'm sure if we all do this, the markets would start right away thinking and handling otherwise!
