About this episode
Did you know that the average family of four in the US spends $1,500 per year on food that does not get eaten? Here in the UK, we throw away around 9.5 million tonnes of food waste in a single year. Join me as I am joined by the wonderful plant-based chef, food waste hero, and TikTok sensation, Carleigh Bodrug. Discover how adopting a plant-based diet changed her health for the better, creative ways to save food from being wasted through cooking with scraps, whether health "quick fixes" are necessary for results and her rise to TikTok stardom. Tune in to discover the wonderful world of plant-based scrappy cooking - saving food, money, and nourishing your body all at once. Be sure to check out Carleigh’s new book, ‘Plant You - Scrappy Cooking’, available now.
