Carleigh Bodrug

Book - 2024

"PlantYou laid the foundation for eating a healthy and simple whole foods, plant based diet. PlantYou Scrappy Cooking takes this one step further. As people are looking more and more to reducing meat consumption as a way to curb environmental impact, the need for easy, delicious recipes only grows. Add to that equation Carleigh Bodrug's emphasis on reducing food waste, and you have the recipe for a delicious and ridiculously easy way to make tater tots from broccoli stalks, turn banana peels into plant based bacon, and use every bit of your food for amazing meals. With sections on how to stop wasting food (and money), outfitting your kitchen, as well as "Got This? Make That!" pantry sweeps and Kitchen Raid recipes (where... you can cross-reference just about any vegetable, grain or bean going bad in your fridge or pantry and find a recipe to use it in), Scrappy Cooking is a go-to for anyone who wants to eat the diet that's healthiest for you, your wallet, the animals, and the planet. Includes recipes for: The Whole Darn Squash (Pasta), Skillet Lasagna, One Pan Orzo Casserole, Vodka Penne With Broccolini, Cauliflower Wedges With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, Chickpea Pot Pie, Orange Peel Chickn', Use Up Your Cabbage Dumplings, Loaded Tortilla Bowls, Sheet Pan Tacos With Carrot Top Chimichurri, Lord of the Fries, Rebel "Ribs", Veggie Masala Burgers, Palak "Paneer", Vegan Meaty Hand Pies, We-Got-the-Beet Chips, Pickle-Mania Chips, The Knead for Flatbread, It's a (Flax) Wrap, Cornmeal Biscuits, Bang Bang Broccoli-cious Steaks...and more!"--

Review by Library Journal Review

According to Bodrug (PlantYou), up to 40 percent of the entire U.S. food supply ends up in a landfill. Focused on helping vegans change that, this cookbook offers solutions, including guidance on how to stop wasting food and a highly useful visual index listing what can be made with commonly tossed ingredients. The rest of the book is devoted to creative, deeply appealing recipes covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, sweets, and drinks, plus a last chapter on ways to use even more kitchen scraps in preserves, powders, and the like. Examples of the offerings include Smoothie Bombs, Scrappacia, a rustic zucchini tart, Leeky Tuscan Soup, and jackfruit bourguignon. Sprinkled throughout, "Kitchen Raid" recipes offer a last chance for almost any ingredient that's about to go bad. An index of macros is included, all recipes are vegan, most are oil-free/oil-optional, and all are fully plant-forward. Matching the creative and thoughtful food offerings, the pages offer equally eye-catching design. VERDICT The message is important, and well delivered, but Bodrug has also created a cookbook vegans will treasure for the wealth of "I can make this; I am going to make that!" recipes that are sure to become standards.--Neal Wyatt
