Would you like to overhaul your spending and become more eco-conscious? A good place to start is the food you prepare, and Megan Davies’ cookbook, Home Bird: Simple, Low-Waste Recipes For Family And Friends, will help you initiate culinary changes to feel good about.
Influenced by nostalgic meals and cooking for loved ones congregated at the kitchen table, the idea for the book took root at an intimate supper club in a friend’s bakery. Written for the eco-minded home cook, it is chock-full of simple recipes that get back to basics using wholesome ingredients, and includes ways to reinvent leftovers. Davies also gives tips on how to make your ingredients stretch, from potato peel crisps to pickled cucumbers and beetroot - just like granny’s!
