PlantYou: Scrappy Cooking by Carleigh Bodrug - Hardback Vegan Cookbook - 140+ Zero-Waste Plant-Based Recipes - NYT Bestseller

Details Condition: Brand New Format: Hardback ISBN: 9780306832420 Publisher: Hachette Go Age Range: Adult / General Readership Overview PlantYou: Scrappy Cooking is the highly anticipated second cookbook from New York Times bestselling author and social media sensation Carleigh Bodrug. Packed with over 140 whole-food, plant-based recipes, this hardback guide shows home cooks how to turn commonly wasted scraps — stems, peels, tops, and leftovers — into delicious, nourishing meals, helping readers eat healthier, save money, and reduce their environmental footprint one plate at a time. About the Book Spinning off Carleigh Bodrug's wildly popular Scrappy Cooking social media series, this cookbook is built around a simple but powerful idea: almost every part of a vegetable, grain, or bean can be transformed into something delicious. Radish tops become vibrant pesto, broccoli stems are reimagined as crunchy summer rolls, and wilting greens are frozen into smoothie cubes rather than thrown away. Every recipe inside is entirely vegan, mostly oil-free, and centred on whole, plant-based ingredients that support both personal health and planetary wellbeing. The book is organised to be genuinely useful in a real kitchen, not just inspirational on a shelf. Flexible "Kitchen Raid" recipes let cooks swap in whatever vegetables, grains, or beans they already have on hand, while a "Got This, Make That" index cross-references commonly wasted ingredients — like stale bread or overripe bananas — with quick, tasty solutions. Clever staple-saving techniques throughout the book show readers how to turn scraps into broths, pestos, smoothies, and more, cutting down on food waste without sacrificing flavour or variety. From hearty mains and skillet dinners to simple snacks and desserts, the recipes are approachable for beginners yet satisfying enough for confident cooks, making this an essential addition to any kitchen focused on sustainable, budget-friendly eating.
